Venting Shit like axles...

Has anyone done a homemade vent kit? I apparently need to fix mine up as I had water in my front diff and it was under pressure. I know I need to check the seals but I figure I would get it venter first.

What all needs to be vented other than the axles? Anyone change the fittings in the axles or other places?

I will do my homework and pick up all the stuff from McMaster before I pay $60 for a "kit". I have good tubing from work so I just need to figure out the fittings.

1/4" truck air brake hose works. I have mine run inside the cab with it. Dont forget the trans an transfer case vents.

Where did you come through into the cab?

Did you use stock fittings at the components?

Where are the trans and x-fer case vents?

What are you wearing?

I am tackling this job now

ORDERED like 35' of this which should be more than enough http://www.mcmaster.com/#air-brake-tubing/=en93px

and two of these http://www.mcmaster.com/#compression-tube-fittings/=en92c2

Going to run the rear axle in near the rear hatch and TEE the transfer case and trans, run that line to the front axle where I will TEE it again and then run it into the engine bay and into the cab.

Be sure to pull the fittings out of the axles and such. They may be clogged...
