Vaccum line fell off rear end not sure where it belong it looks like it goes to brake block on rear axle on 1997 ram 2500
The rubber line on the rear end is actually a vent line, not a vacuum line. The bolt that secures the brake block usually is hollow and has a barb on the end that the hose goes on. Sometimes the bolt/barb rusts off and will have to be replaced, or the line splits and falls off the barb. Either way it should be repaired, otherwise it will allow dust/water into the rear end contaminating the gear oil.
The vent tube for the ring and pinion housing is the only tubing made of rubber for the axle
