Ok where does this re-attach?

So my security desk calls me today to tell me I have something hanging down from my truck. I didn't crawl completely under there to look but my guess is a breather tube for the rear diff. Does this sound right?

Next question is....where is it suppose to be??? I dont really want to spend time at the dealer while they just hook it back on. Anybody got a pic of where it is suppose to be?

Here is the picture.

Thanks in advance.

There is a clip still attached to the hose, so I will try to find a spot it will attach to on the frame.

Thanks Redford.

I just clipped it onto something that the clip would fit around that kept the pipe in a vertical position. I think it's hooked onto the bake line bracket on the frame where it goes from hardline to hose...
