Pretty sure thats the line goes to the CAD and cruise control module, should hook up to where that rubber hose next to it goes to the intake. What is that rubber hose for? If its the PCV hose that should route around to the other side of the intake and plug in next to the brake booster

the small one going forward across the front of the engine is the cruise.
the section going toward the rear with the check valve disc should split again. one split then drops off the back of the engine to the tcase/cad. another section goes into the firewall for the heat/vent controls.

here's what my 01 looks like. i don't know if this is factory or cobbled up. its awfully messy for factory...

At some point, dodge, in their infinite wisdom.... switched sides on the PCV valve. There should be another port right next to where the PCV line goes in, that the one that isn't hooked to anything goes to.......

Good thing that port wasn't a snake! Hopefully that will fix my vacuum problems, the vents switching to defrost as i accelerate and 4wd issues with disengage...

Isnt there two inlets on the drivers side, one on pass side of intake? or is that one of the things that were changed too?

EDIT: My intake, on inlet on pass. side

It's a mishmash.... I have two on the passenger side, and two or three on the drivers side. PCV valve is in the passenger valve cover.

Personally, I think the guys on the line were just having some random fun.....
