TW members, any idea what this cable with braided sleeve is?

Hey y'all,

I changed the motor oil earlier and noticed a cable dangling. Any of you know what it is?

It was already dark when I did the oil change so will try to figure what it is tomorrow.

TIA!

Truck Info in case needed:

2005 Taco Access Cab
V6
6-Speed Manual
4x4

 

looks to be a breather of some sort. Follow it and see where it goes

 

Breather for transmission or transfer case. Try to get a look up there and see if it's still connected. Then tuck it up high in the tunnel somewhere that makes sense. I think it's supposed to mount up toward the front where the top of the bell housing meets the engine, but it'll be hard to get your hands up there

 

Thank you! Guess no better time to relocate it to higher ground like I did with the rear diff breather hose years ago.

Likely the trans breather. Likes to live at the top of the trans. Run it out and extend the rear-diff breather, too.

 

When I did the rear diff breather hose relocation, I ran the line up to my Taco's bed storage box.

Now I'm wondering what's a good spot to relocate the tranny breather hose to.

Any suggestions?

Appreciate the feedback, "like" to all because y'all are awesome!

 

That is supposed to be in a holder rite under the brake master, should be another rite next to it which should be the front diff breather.

 

Completed the relocation of the tranny breather hose. Thanks again for the assist TW community!
