Builds Fly By Night (2 Viewers)

[Ol Yeller]

While some of you are here chatting, I’m looking for suggestions for raised vent/breather locations for the axles, transmission and t-case.
I’ve searched several of the modified rig threads and have only seen the one pic Scrappy posted of a breather mounted on the left inside fender.
Ran some hoses for the transmission and t-case to the front of the firewall for possibly locating a little breather manifold for those and the front axle, but nothing is set in stone. Still haven’t made any decisions for the rear axle.
Any suggestions?

I won an ARB breather kit many moons ago, so my plan is to mount it up high in engine by and plumb to it…but have not really sorted the logistics of that out yet…seems a very long way to run the rear for sure.

Does that kit use the nylon tubing with push-lock fittings?

Hmm, mud not letting post a pic, they are blacks tubes but I don’t know if rubber or?

I know it's just vent lines, but I like the look of the manifold type vents, just looks better than what I have. Two small filters that the transfer, transmission and front diff. all connect to. I can't remember where the rear diff. goes to. The filters are right next to clutch master.

Ron,
I think I read somewhere in your thread that your rear diff breather is up inside the tub somewhere? Never found any pics

DPV7070,

Sure, I just ran clear tubing from the transfer and front diff., combined with a tee and changing to this new filter. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OO4PS0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The one in the picture has a bigger nipple, reason for the large piece of tube. I wanted to use clear, for chance of catching a problem early, if oil backs up in the tubing. The rear diff. was run up inside the back along with the air lines for the air lockers. I have the compressor in the back.

Thanks for looking!

How bout rear passenger behind cargo panel

How bout rear passenger behind cargo panel

I think that's the only logical place for the rear axle. Tricky part is to make sure the hose doesn't have any pockets to trap liquids. For the front axle, trans, etc. I would go up into the engine bay. Not sure if I would do them individually or not. Again, I would just try to avoid pockets.

Yeah, that was before the ARB locker was spitting oil everywhere, so I changed everything around and got rid of the ARB, problem solved. I'll look under there today, damn shame when you forget stuff.

I was looking at that. There’s two holes or more (can’t remember now) on that rear passenger side going up into the quarter panel. One’s for wiring (or maybe both are). Could pretty easily use one of those.
Do you think the interior will reek of 90w?

 

[trainbufftony]

I'd vent it into the engine compartment, better yet, vent it into the intake, before the carb...
I don't love the smell of 90wt.
On a hot day it seems like it would pump hot fumes right into the cab.

I’m not in love with the idea of running another tube or hose along the frame to the front, but I guess you could ‘T’ into the line from the front diff and then have a single line for both diffs run up to the firewall. Definitely not in love with the idea of 90w smell in the cab either.
Kinda sounds like a game of “Would you rather?”

My answer, on my personal rig is usually leave it alone, go 4 wheeling instead.
As my old man ofen said, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

 

[scrapdaddy]

I personally only smelt the 90 w when the ARB puked it out and never have I smelled it coming from the engine bay.

Nah

At one point in my life I would bathe in it on a weekly basis. Never fresh new clean 90w from an enthusiasts vehicle, no.

It was always burnt up 90w in a half ton Chevy pickup with 9000lbs of contractors tools and dried concrete stuck in the bed and a grenaded track-loc dif...

I have a special hatred for theat particular aroma. Carry on.

If it really stinks BAD ya know it's time to change it . My mini truck had braided stainless lines for breathers. I mounted to highest point on frame above wheel. Bought from Downey off road

Yep, looks like nylon tubing with push-lock fittings

 

[bobm]

I looked a little bit and found a 4 vent that had the nylon and pushlocks . Could just run rear diff to engine compartment. They used the bronze filer elements

 

[scrapdaddy]

I checked mine and the rear diff. is run up and tees into the transfer case line. I like the looks of that ARB manifold.
