Hose to nowhere

i was doing work on my battery and saw this hose that was plugged, pretty jankily at that. Can someone tell me where it goes too?

 

its your front diff breather, and thats the air valve to let air in and out during heat cycles.

 

^^^

 

Yeah...better just leave that one alone with its breather on the end.

 

Left alone, heard. Thanks

 

Lol, what was so janky about the breather valve?

 

Your transmission breather should be next to it in that empty clip..

 

Just wasn't sure what it was to be honest.

 

Cool, no such thing as a dumb question!!....to a point.

 

But just to clarify. There should be another hose from my transmission in that clip? If yes, then where should I look on the trans to see if it just came loose or needs to be replaced. Because I have had many oil changes and had the trans looked at and no one has said anything about it.

 

Is yours an automatic or manual transmission?

 

Auto ...

 

Auto is fine brother, but I'm new to the tacoma. I'll go take a peek at mine (4 cylinder, auto) and see if there is a transmission breather on the auto.

 

I didn't think there was a breather on the auto but didn't want to give you bad info. I just confirmed on mine that there isn't a breather on the auto behind the 2.7L at least.

 

Cool, better safe than be an idiot. Appreciate it.

 

No problem, boss. I read that you're taking a trip. Check out the reply on your thread there.
