My friend has said truck and we broke down on the highway. A clear hose, about the size of a quater in diameter, 4 mm thick or so, busted near the front chassis where it meets the differential. We blew out $40 worth of oil in five miles or so. We were also pulling a 20ft trailer. One mechanic suggested it was an oil cooling line (but the line is not re-enforced?). What is this hose and how can we replace it without forking over money to the Dodge dealership?
Thanks to all.

Sound like the breather hose there's no oil pressure just crankcase pressure. Sounds like your Eng pushed the oil out the breather hose.maybe the Eng has a lot of low maintenance an the head has slug an the oil won't drain back to the crankcase so out it comes.This hose is located in the front upper drivers side of the Eng.Replace it with 3/4 heater hose an make it longer.
