Extending Diff and Tranny Breathers
Hey guys, what kind of hoses and connectors do I need to extend the breathers from my diffs, tranny, and transfer case?
I was going to route them to my air intake since I have a snorkel, but I worry about overfilling by accident, heating up, and overflow fluid entering my intake, bad for the engine?

You don't want the ends of the hoses to be in a low pressure area. This could draw water through the seals and into the axle/transmission.
And, yes, if the axles need to vent, you could get the oil into the intake.

I'm on my phone so I can't post a link, but I know there are some threads with good information on how, and where, to run the breathers. Send me a pm if you can't find it through a search and I will find the link tomorrow.

Yes they do, but if the fluid overflows, it will then overflow into your airbox! Not good in my opinion????? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE RiverRaider! But, I just don't like the idea of fluid overflowing into my airbox. It's happened at least twice so far.
So I want to extend it myself. Can't find any writeups on it.
Just need to know what kind of hosing and connectors to use.
