Default 4wd vac lines again

ok, finally got mad at the ram and started fixing alot of its little problems, oone of the biggest is the no 4wd. so i got lookin at it found no vac pressure in either line, at any time, so it is a source problem, so i followed lines and found two van lines that come from the transfer case, to the engine bay. now i know i have no vac to the blow controls so i have defrost all the time...

back to the source, i found where the little male end of the vac source in the intake manafold, and there is nothing hooked up, one of the reasons i have a little high idle. so i need to get these ;liones hooked back up.


one of the lines is longer then the other and that one is gray, the other one ahs a little end on it like it is supposed to go to something spacific but what that is i dont know.

can anyone explain to me where all the vac lines on my truck are supposed to hook up and maybe a pic of theres so i can see what it is supposed to be.

the lpuic i am looking for is the passengers side of the motor where the blower motor gets its vac from and the is one or two tee's there.

and maybe some info on where that gray 4wd line goes?

HUH? So you replaced the motor and didn't label any of the hoses I guess! Sounds like a cluster F..k to me.

Don't have any idea where the other one is coming from (or going to). I've only got the single:
