Snorkel & Breather hoses
I am planning on installing an AEV snorkel to prevent a repeat of my hydrolocked engine incident. I plan to run it with the ram top rather than paying extra for the Pre-filter. I'm thinking of joining the auto Transmission and transfer case breather lines together and then running a single line to the lower part of the air cleaner housing. I also plan to run the rear axle breather to the engine compartment and join it to the front axle breather and run a single line from those to the air cleaner housing. The transfer case and transmission both us ATV+4 and the axles also use the same fluid, so the potential of fluid getting from one to the other shouldn't be an issue. I intend to block the holes in the bottom of the air cleaner housing, but may put a one way drain in the bottom. Do any forum members know of any good reason to not join the breather hoses as I intend.

There is really no need to link up all of these hoses. A simple upside-down "U" in the vent line will prevent water from entering. Or a pressure bellows to close the system like I posted above will work well and be worry free. Plumbing a lot of excess tubing around is just creating a complicated solution to a really non-existent problem.

Piggybacking on dmwill's question- you've been through plenty of the duratracs in the past, why the switch to ko2's? I'm running them now as well, but I switch tires every couple of years in search of the 'best' tire for my usage.
