Differential breathers...

[Chevy305]

Since I got the truck I always had it in the back of my mind to redo the breathers on my differentials. So now comes that time!

I found some pretty cool stuff that I can use from Jegs and McMastercar. So far I have only assembled the parts. I will install it within a few days.

What I am using is 25' of 5/16th rubber hose to connect the front and rear diff together. Then I am connecting the trans and the t-case together on a sepparate line. Then I am installing a larger breather for the gas tank vent because the charcoal canister is gone and the vent is currently just sitting on the core support.

All of the lines will have a brass mesh breather on the end of the line and they will be mounted up out of splash zones.

Your doing more than 1 breather? I would have a slight consern it was too small for ALL those things but maybe given they are low pressure...... At least you didnt do like a guy i know he plumbed everything to his snorkle on a jeep. Then wondered why everything was oily and his jeep smoked. I pointed out his errors before anything was sucked dry but he did have to top off diffs trans and x-case with lube.

The problem is I don't even know what a bobble-head is... My truck's breathers are kinda messed up.
