Hello everyone , so after the Halloween run, it was recommended to a get a rear diff breather any suggestions? I see one from: PRG ARB Home made ones with aquarium tubing. Thoughts? I'm leaning towards the arb? Thanks Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This is a very recommended upgrade - do it! Short Info: http://www.thenewx.org/forum/2467322-post577.html Full length discussions with 730 posts and counting: http://www.thenewx.org/forum/15-how-tos/54-how-install-rear-diff-breather-extension.html I used the Nissan barb fitting, 10 ft of fuel resistant Tygon tubing from McMaster-Carr and a fish tank filter stone.

I used fuel hose from the autoparts store to extend my breathers & just loop the end so it's facing back downwards (front diff into the engine bay & rear behind the tail light). Not ideal, but if water is over my hood or past my brake lights, I figure I have bigger issues. However you do it, it's definitely good insurance. |

I pried the cap off my axle and just ran the tube from there - bought way too much so I have a significant coil of it tucked into my bumper corner before going into the tail light. I do have a Titan barb sitting in my freezer somewhere... |

Hey guys thanks fir the info , follow up now that I read a little more, is the rear diff vent the only one we have too raise ? What about front or tranny/transfer? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mike, They are both vented high in the engine compartment. Both are essentially stationary to the frame and Nissan ran them for us. The sprung rear diff. / axle I guess was too risky for them when only 1 in a 1000 was actually going to be wheeled? Your guess is as good as mine. Scott |
