Extending breather tubes
#2
I don't know about a write up but its super easy. Just buy a piece of hose I think 5/16 is the correct size I just took some to the part store and matched it up. Then get a hose union I recommend metal and some hose clamps. Then just unplug from the housing and add the new hose on. I recommend putting a third clamp on the the axle housing to ensure it doesn't pull off. Make sure its not to long or it may get caught in the tire or axle.

I want'a take you higher!
Did anyone do a write-up on relocating the vent tube opening higher? For some reason I thought the axle breather tube opening is down near the frame. Maybe extending the front one higher in the engine compartment and the rear up behind a tail light would be even better?
Never mind! I just watched the video. Thanks!

I know this is an old thread but I just did my axle vents last week. I still have to do the trans and transfer.
Here i where i moved the axle vent hoses. Will probably bring the trans and transfer to the same area.
