I would have to know what line it is to have any idea as to why it was loose. In general, it could be that it's supposed to be loose. Or it could be something that was left a little bit loose, and then it got more loose as the truck was driven around, with the engine vibrating slightly and the truck going over bumps constantly.

Can you take a picture of the loose line and upload it here? That might make it easier to ID the line.
