The cap on my front axle breather went away. I don't see any breather in the SOR catalog. Any ideas for replacements?
 
Read the writeup theo linked- you don't want the stock "breathers" anyway.

Any 1/8" NPT fitting will thread in where the stock breathers were. Use that to run a line somewhere high (firewall), this will keep water out and oil in your axles much better than the stock setup.
 
get a piece of hose and clamp it to the nipple o fyour old breather...route up high...done.

This kind of works, but does not get rid of the troublesome one-way valve, nor the tiny orifice in the stock breathers.

I removed a stock breather (which I had previously pried the cap off of) and heard a disticnt hiss of pressure release as I unscrewed it.
 
can't say as i'd know...i tapped all mine and am running standard nipples to coiled airtubing.
 
"Standard" nipples? Ige, I thought yours would be "Heavy Duty".....
