Brake line?

F250 '06 power stroke
Just noticed a (looks like) brake line about 2' long hanging at rear axel driverside. One end hooked to line on top of axel the other end has a nylon fitting and a clip attached. Cannot find where the loose end goes. My only thought is it must be a vent. There is a square hole above the axel in the bed frame that looks like where it should be.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yep that is the axle breather line. Just keep it as high as possible.

did you suck out the old brake fluid and bleed the lines good,if not get to it because there is most likely moist in there

By his description it's a breather line, not a brake line.
