How is your climate control system working? The "tee" is also a check valve
and the small line goes to the diff locks and the larger (heat shrinked hose
to the check valve outlet) hose goes to a vacuum reservoir which you can see
inside your driver's door jamb when the door is open. If you are loosing
vacuum there I would think your climate control would go to air out the
defrost vents and heater valve full hot all the time as well as no diff lock
activation. HTH
