Hardlines on transmission crossmember

Hello all,
I have a 2001 ram 2500 with a NV5600. I just replaced the clutch on my truck and now going back together with it. During removal, my uncle who was helping me, removed 2 hardlines that mount to the front of the transmission crossmember/support. Are these vacuum lines? There is a red tipped and black tipped tube that connect to those hardlines but he doesn't remember which color connects to which tube. Does anyone have a schematic or picture of how they connect. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, they are vacuum lines for the front axle CAD. Check posts #4 and #5 on this thread: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-into-2wd.html

Definitely blow through them with compressed air (just the hardline part) and make sure output at the other end seems proportionate.
Tiny bits of gravel can get in there MUCH more easily than you think. I fixed no CAD engagement once by blowing them out. I thought one seemed restricted, but then convinced myself it was probably fine. At the last second I heard a "pop" and it blew out something. Flow was much improved and CAD engagement was restored.
By the same token, if the lines are crushed.....
