That would be too much trouble, I will be swapping 4.88 thirds in the next few weeks depending on what I can find used. When I go to install I will put in an extended one on the front

Olharleyman I was just thinking that with that hose just sitting up there by the side of the engine you might want to put one of those one-way valve things on it to stop junk/water from getting into the hose/breather...
just a thought...

An inline fuel filter works perfectly for the end of the hose to keep crap out. Find one with the right size hose nipple on it. I just bought a cheap plastic one for $4.

Hahah!!
Here is a pic of how I ended my breather
air can get through but bugs and dirt cannot, and since I wrapped it around, there would have to be alot of water in there to get into the diff.

Haha!! My diff was leaking pretty bad before I did the mod, turns out the breather was plugged SOLID with some kind of gunky brownish crap. I got it all unplugged using a screwdriver, and after going to work this morning I saw no leaks! I guess I can hold off changing the seal untill I regear
