vacuum lines help
I know vacuum lines play a big part in dodges. Can anyone help me out with a diagram? Pics? Anything? I have a green line that I think goes to the engine. Anyways if anyone has links for threads or sites on them ide really apreciate it. I have a couple other lines too but idk were they go.

i didnt know i couldnt do a difrent thread for a difrent issue. sorry, and thanks for doing that.
the green one that comes out of the??? its on the back side of the tranny, as well with a red and black. those go to the cad for the 4wd. and their is a grey one.. that goes all the way into the intake manifold. but the green one i wasnt sure about.. and my neighbor and i put it to the other side of the intake manifold that was pluged.. anyone know why it was pluged or is it like that from the dealer? also i have vacuum pressure suction.. about half way to the cad. but once it goes to the metal lines.. their is 0, none, no preasure suction at all. the part that attaches to the metal lines the grommet part thing, kinda is loose and slips on and off but its on their right. any ideas what i should do with these damn things.
also the radiator was a little low. i added,, say 20 oz. and also i replaced the second o2 sensor becouse it wasnt their before. it drives a little better, waiting to see if i need to do the first one. the first o2 sensor is like, black and brown like some baddd build up. i cleaned it off and put it back in.
any idea why i can get the engine up to 4000 rpm with the first o2 sensor out, and only up to 3k rmp with it in, and when it gets to 3k it just stays and then i have to let off the gas for it to shift. also quite a bit more acceleration with the first one out. exept it burns rich as hell. would that possibly mean the cats clogged? my grandpa and i drove it. and hit the cat with a rubber mallet, not too hard but a local mechanic said some carbon or dust should come out.. and nothing happened.

Like I said, the green one is a vent line. It comes out of the vac switch on top of the transfer case, along with the red and black ones. No worries there. There should also be a white or light gray one going to the switch, which is the supply vac line from the manifold.

The grey line was probably at one time white... that's vacuum source for the CAD. The green line is just a vent line, and shouldn't be hooked to anything. Should be a little filter feller on the end of it.
The line on the drivers side of the keg is just a spare.... mine is plugged off to. (with a cute little vacuum line cap.)
Have you fixed your plenum yet? Failing O2 sensors, and clogged cats (which is what it does indeed sound like you have.....) are generally signs of a toasted plenum gasket. Do you go thru more oil than you think you should between changes?

you can try a gallon of laquer thinner with a half tank of gas.... and run it and about 2000 rpms for 20 mins or so... that supposed to clean out the cat converter... I saw the video on youtube and am curious on how well it works...the poster has lots of DIY auto stuff...scotty Kilmer...
