Top one prolly goes to a fitting thru the firewall. Cheap plastic hose gets brittle, and breaks.

The line next to the disty there is supposed to be like that. That's the vent line for the vacuum switch on the t-case.

Alright I just worked on the vacum system on my truck because the header I had broke and it melted my lines into. So I had no 4wd at all. I went hunting to find the problem. The little black peice on top of the distibuter is the vent. Its suposed to be there. Theres two lines to and from the trans from the hood area. Ones vent, and one is vacum. The one thats broke is the vacum. go under your truck and youll find these lines in a wire loom going up beside the exasht to that area. If you find the broken one just goto autozone with that broken end and they can get you a rubber hose to fit onto it and you can splice it properly. if you need more help I can take pics tomorrow as it is raining here today.
Thanks,
Cheat.
