Okay I found it. Had to use my wifes little make up mirror to find it tucked away completely out of sight.
Thanks.

Great. How do I get to that? I don't see anything obvious to attach the tube to.

Retep

Anyone have any idea what this vacuum tube is and where it goes?

I just had to get my intake manifold gasket replaced and this tube is hanging off in space. Don't want to take it back just for this if I don't have to.

Thanks

Update: A couple of weeks ago, the HVAC control stuck on dash vents. Today I took it to the dealer who confirmed my fear, ATF contamination in the HVAC lines. He said this was also the reason for the front diff engagement issue. I guess I changed out my T-case vacuum switch to late. Will have to thi...

Retep

For kicks I checked the vac lines going to the recently replaced t-case switch. All are in visibly good shape and the key on the switch is in line with the plug. I did notice some dry rot on the vacuum lines atop the brake booster as Brule mentioned. Those lines look like they run deep into the bowe...

I either have a vacuum problem or the dreaded ATF contamination of the HVAC system. For the past couple months, with the HVAC control in off position, I have experienced air blowing out of the vents instead of the floor while under hard acceleration such as merging onto the highway.

Update: I tried engaging 4HI again today. It did not engage instantly like usual but did engage fine. I did notice that the gear/chain noise was a little louder while driving in 4HI than it normally is but I might have just been paying more attention this time. I did this on a straight stretch of ro...

Retep

So today I check and the front diff has disengaged even while the truck is running, just like it is supposed to be. Perhaps the transfer case switch did have something to do with it. I'll try engaging 4x4 again tomorrow and see what happens.

Retep

....Sounds to me like your front diff cable is engaging when the engine is running, because the vacuum actuator under the battery box is receiving vacuum in 2WD for some reason. This is exactly what is happening. But why??? This is why I replaced all of that problematic vacuum engagement mess, with...

On my way home from work the other day, I realized that it had been awhile since I had engaged 4x4. So close to home, on a stretch of straight residential road, I hit the 4HI button to make sure everything was in good working order. Everything engaged fine and I drove it for about a quarter mile bef...

I really like the new Nissan Frontier. Lots of good options and a good off road package. A v6 with impressive HP and torque numbers. Ample after market support (lifts). The Nismo 4x4 package is everything the Colorado Z71 should have been. To bad I was born and raised on GM money. My dad would have ...

My old Cavalier used to warp rotors all the time. A co-worker told me it was from inconsistent torque on the lugs. I bought a torque wrench, and haven't suffered from a warped rotor on that vehicle or any other since.

Love mine. Great in all road conditions. Offroad, I would say they are what they are, an A/T... Fine for light to medium trails but surly not meant for serious mud or hardcore rock climbing.

I have often thought of swapping out my rear end for a ZR2 rear end if I could find one cheap enough. It would have to be very cheap though for me to junk a perfectly good rear end, also because my G80 works like it is designed to unlike stories I have heard of others.

It's not cranked that much, probably on the high side of allowable spec range maybe a little more. I didn't tell them I touched the t-bars either.
