Hello,
Working towards extending my diff breathers (prior to axle rebuilds) and was looking at the front stock breather. I've read I think all of the "extend your breather" posts and all mention the stock breather (the spring, rubber gasket, one way valve with the metal top) but none have mentioned this large black box just below it that is mounted. The tube goes from the axle to the box with the valve on top.
Just wondering what the extra box is for? The rear is just the valve and my 4-runner just has the valve as well.
Second, I've seen talk of using Dino oil in the diffs so you will change it more often if you are in water. Is this overkill, since, I just put the breather higher to avoid water in the diff? I like syns but as mentioned if it will get tainted anyhow might as well save the money and go Dino.
Thanks,
TR
