Vacuum line on bottom of degas bottle

[Fussgus]

Can someone tell me what this is for and how necessary it is?

4x4 auto system. I broke that line somewhere down there when I did my egr delete and I have to put hubs in manual now til I fix it.

Why does there need to be a vacuum line to the bottom of the degas bottle that is my question. I ask that because there is nothing at the bottom so why make a vacuum line go there? Just seems weird but there has to be a good reason.

Yeah I dunno, only thing Im aware of that is vacuum operated is the auto hubs..and those stupid little, brittle lines are everywhere!!

I bought some fancy LED lights for my truck and they need Load resistors so I don't get hyper flashing and they needed to be mounted close to the bulb because the wires are super short. So I drilled a hole that I thought I had plenty of space for and put a hole in my battery and I thought the acid went to the bottom so i drilled a hole to let the liquid drain and nothing came out and then I drilled another hole in the middle to mount the resistor and right around that time the pump started running non-stop and I had no idea why. Today I put 2 and 2 together after wondering why my 4WD wasn't working and realizing the vacuum line went into the bottom. So I plugged up the holes and sure enough everything works again. So luckily my lines are in tact.

Dang man!! Ive just been to lazy to try and find where my line is cracked/broke and so I just unplugged that annoying vacuum pump, been well over a year now.

[Fussgus]

Yeah... I'm retarded.

I don't have the vacuum lines, my transfer case shifter is on the floor

Floor board shifters for the win!

My vacuum line came out during the EGR delete. I don't have a button in the dash, so I don't need no stinking vacuum lines

You guys with the floor shift can still shift on the fly right? I don't see why it would be any different having to do it manually instead. Just curious.
