breathers

Post by lowndsie »

Just checking out the diff breathers today and it looks like the rear one at least is connected to a cross bar on the chassis??? Has anyone had any problems with water in the diff enough to warrannt a change in the breather line?

I have had mine pretty muddy, and under some water, but never had a problem with water entry.

The major concern is hitting cold water with hot diffs... they tend to contract quickly and can suck some water in... at least thats what I was told by my mechanic. Still, never had a problem.

If you have any concerns about them, then just extend them you will not have to worry about it then. The breather hoses in mine are tucked away safe and I have played in the Mud allot, having even submurged my vehicle in rivers andd also tank traps and never had water in my diff's and never worried about it.

I though the Rocky breathers are pretty good and are located higher than most stock 4wds i know off including Defenders.
The front should reach to the top of the bonnet and the rear to the rear boot compartment.
Mine looks okay too. Dont see any "Cr@P" in the oil so far.
