    Question about the engine ventilation system (solved)

    Question: I'm connecting all of the various vacuum/pressure lines and I am at a loss for this one. It goes back under the cab to a T and braches off to the transfer case and the little tube on the back of the filler tube. There is a piece of soft tubing close to it, which I know was put...
