Axle vent line hanging under truck

Last night we had some serious rain and I went through a pretty deep water puddle at speed. I didn't see it until I was right on top of it. This morning I see a vent line of some sort hanging under the truck. The end is attached to the real axle on the left side and on the other end is a plastic connecter. I have searched high and low and can not see where this connects to.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for all your help!

Thanks Paul!
Judging by the rub mark on my diff looks like mine has been hanging for a while.

I doubt it connect to anything, it's just a vent (I think), prob just clips to the frame as high as possible. Looks like the fitting is just so water doesn't get in.

Its a breather. Just reattach it somewhere high.

On my explorer I bought new hose and ran the axle and t-case breathers to the top of the engine bay. Its my trail rig though...
