    To keep water out of the diff if you do a lot of water fording.

    As long as you don't keep the diff submerged for a extended period, yeah you're ok.

    I don't know about that. I've always heard that the when the diff is submerged it cools quickly and sucks in water. Maybe the valve would keep that from happening?

    I don't think so? If there was a check valve you wouldn't need to relocate the breather then. I think there is only a breather on the front any way.

    If that's the case, then I stand by my cooling theory and that you'll need it if ever you submerge your diff.

    The front goes well into the engine compartment. It's the rear that needs to be relocated. It's not tubed at all, which is retarded. Why would they do the front and not the rear?
