differential breather fitting?
#1
My Dana 30 nor my 8.8 have these... and I cannot find them anywhere, does anybody know where to get these? I'm tired of gettin water in my diff all the time...
#2
D30 will be high & to the left of the yoke

not sure on the 8.8
#3
no, I know where the holes are.. I can't find fittings to go into those holes so that I can run a line up for fresh air when I decide to drive through a lake again
#4
I'm missing them on mine as well. I was told you either have to order them from the dealer or get them from salvage....
#5
The ones from the dealer are the little plastic ones, right? surely they gotta make a brass one or steel to thread into it... thats gay
#6
Are they threaded? Find a bolt that fits it so you know what thread diameter and pitch. Then go to some place like Fastenal or Copper State Nut and Bolt and see what they can get for you. That's probably where I'd start.

Should just be a threaded male fitting on one end and a hose nipple on the other, no?
Plumbing supply house or even the home depot.
I go to a place called McFaddens on 32st just South of Broadway for that sort of thing. They seem to have every fitting i could ever imagine.

Yeah, it is threaded.. not sure what size, I think it's fine thread cause a 3/8 will almost fit but not quite

in the 8.8 we built, we used the brake line distobution block from the Chry 8.25, it runs out from the top of that. I have a couple 8.25s I could check to see if I still have the block. If so you can have it.

Avis,
I have one of these if you want it.

#11
How does that tie in to the pumpkin? I need to check the rear axle and see if it even needs one.. I just know the front dosen't have one.
#12
It threads into the tube on the driver's side. The brake line connects in front and then runs along the tubes on each side (you can see one detached in the photo). the breather line connects to the fitting sticking out the top.
#13
to the left of the pumpkin, this one is just the breather, the right and left brakelines run right above it

#14
ah, okay! makes sense.. let me see if I have that one or not, thanks!
