Looks like the Flex hose for your Rear brakes....It's the line that feeds your Rear brakes.

You wont have Rear Brakes with out it.....

Either the vent for the rearend or the rubber brake line. Did you climb under there and look?

I concur.

I'm 520 miles from my truck but IIRC they connect at nearly the same spot.

Whats all the white crap?

It was 88 degrees here in Hurrican alley today.

I think its a stick arm from the snowman that is on the top of your axle

If it is the vent(which I concur) what will happen if its not connected.

i don't know but it looks like it was ripped in half or a small amount of it is still attached to the axle.

Nothing will happen if it is not attached, if you stay out of water that is deeper than the vent. It is best to have one just for safe measures.

If it is ripped off at the vent fitting. Might as well buy a new piece of rubber hose equal in lenth and replace the old one. Don't forget to get a new clamp. The original clamp you will have to brake off to get the rest of the old hose off.
