Diff Breather Question

[Joe Cocks]

Breathers

Ok so there are the axle breathers and a transfer case breather, are there any others?

Automatic transmission breather?

Just ordered a snorkel - want to take a belt and braces approach.

yup, there's a breather on the autobox somewhere, but not got that far yet to be able to tell you where exactly it is.

Yes i beleive if you have a feel around the top of the gear box youll find one (transmission i mean) But i think youd have to be at a stand still in reall y deep stuff for that to be affected. Nonetheless im still doing mine before before i go wading.

[joker??]

bought mine from gupster still aint fitted them yet lol

fitted them today

[Jonny77]

Cos I cant be @rsed to take them out, measure them, put them back, then buy the new ones, take them out again, etc, can someone tell me what thread the breather unions are please, I guess 1/4 BSP or summat?
Ta.

Yeah, but...A straight shanked and a 90 degree 6mm hose union with a thread that matches the current diff breathers....is the reason I ask. I now think they may be 1/8" BSP

Yes they are 1/8 BSP, i got 1/8 to 6mm. seems to work fine.

Fishtank airline tube works OK. Had some on my truck for a couple of winters now and its been OK.

As far as where to route it - up, above likely depth of water you'll get into. Mine go into the engine bay.

I've found the transfer case one but it doesn't feel like there's a nut you can get a spanner round. It just feels round and not hexagonal. Has anyone got the transfer breather out? Are there any other breathers anywhere?

[gwh200]

aye.....

both diffs and the gearbox

[Don Logan]

yeah i did the diffs...

[POPEYE]

You've probably got the dust cover, it's got a nut below that, without a body lift it may be a bugger to get at tho,

[Don Logan]

Yeah i did have good feel but couldn't feel a nut. Probably caked in crud though. Is it necessary to do the gear and transfer box breathers for reasonably tame water crossings?
