well i'm pretty sure i found it. and i'm starting to think that the guy that did my transmission is absent minded. he used a rubber seal instead of the oem rubber/plastic one that i wanted on there (i even had a new one in the back seat). he had the transmission bolts too loose, it took a little over a half a turn to get them all to 13 ft lbs.
and he left this on top of the heat shield over the cat:
but i found out where it goes when i stuck my camera above the transfer case:
now i want to drive it to see if the vents will work right but i need to get the front end back together before i can.
do you think it would have any ill effects not having the vent or the vac lines on the transfer case for about 1000 miles? and do you think i could get away with strangling that guy?

Yeah I know that now. I actually just pulled my transfer case out for the 2nd time yesterday and I remembered to plug those back in, I don't see how that guy could have forgotten them since he does transmissions for a living.

I'm a programmer who uses vim all day, so I'm pretty darn fast on the keyboard already. Thanks just the same for the tip, though, as I've got grandkids who might benefit from it. I've kept my nose out of it since windoze is what they have to work with in school, but the oldest will be taking engineering classes when he starts high school in the Fall so I might get him away from the dark side yet. I love corrupting the grandkids!

A good pull will get the valve out of the line, maybe a twist and a pull.
The dealer still has them, Don't forget about the one on the side of the intake manifold, that one normally gets oil in it and gets messed up (thats the one that was bad on mine, my sisters and my dads trucks).
The parts stores check valves aren't the right size, they're normally different sizes on each end so you have to get them from the dealer (but they're cheap and you only need two so that's ok).

Sheriff,
The one on the intake is the one thats bad with mine also.. But I can not find them at any dealers, they don't even have a listing for them. The ones they had laying around were way to small in diameter..
