From everything i've read the front diff and transfer case breathers are higher up (in the engine bay if i remember correctly) than the rear diff breather.

 

They are right on top on the tcase and into the shifter

 

The front diff and ADD both have breathers that come up next to the main fuse panel behind the battery. The transfer case and transmission "Y" into one connection and their breather sits on top of the transmission. If you feel down between the engine bay and the firewall you should be able to find it. Of course the rear diff breather is on the pumpkin.

I relocated all of them to a single home made open breather located up high on the firewall.

Pictures here and here.

 

The tcase and tranny breather is on the passenger side of the engine bay? I extended my rear diff breather some time ago and when I saw the cluster of breathers by the battery I thought I was good. Looks like I got one more to go.

 

It's right on top of the transmission, basically in the center of the truck.

 

I'll take another look. I searched for it before, but couldn't find it. It looks the same as the rear diff breather right?

 

It's the same style breather as the rear diff, but it's on a piece of tubing. There are two hard line fittings, one on the transfer case and one on the transmission. They lead into a y and from that y there is a piece of tubing with the breather on the end. As far as I could tell it was just flopped on top of the transmission. Just feel down between the engine and the firewall over the transmission and you'll find it.

 

I gotcha. I think I was searching too far back.

 

On my current trailer build I am looking at the Dexter brand axle. I am thinking the 4,400 lb axle which comes with the 6 on 5.5 hubs, 3" diameter tube, and electric brakes. Total weight of trailer and cargo will be expected at no more than 3500lbs. What do you think?

 

Ok, thanks guy's for the input.

 

ADD & front diff tied together, tube ends at the fuse box. The other tube that you will find right next to it, ending at the same location, is the trans & xfer case, which are also tied together.
Crossing deep water? Get your intake up. Search the forum for my "Different Approach to a Snorkel" writeup (I'd link it, but I'm on my phone). $30 for a hidden snorkel that stays bone dry and looks stock.

 

That's not correct. The front diff and add have separate lines that run in parallel up to the fuse box. The transfer case and transmission are on top of the transmission

 

Unless you bury the hood or get water to come over it and it dumps in your cowl. Then you're potentially fucked. But then again, if your intake was in the stock position you would be too.

 

so should these also be moved?

 

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. Go visit the thread -- the issue has been beaten to death

 

Yeah, I realized that just after posting. My bad. (Wish there was an edit feature on the mobile versikn).

 

Same guy that had the Warn straps

Use tapatalk and there is....

 

Maybe, maybe not. I did just for my own piece if mind.

 

Dont know if there is only one or more but here is the same strap http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-29898-W...-000-LBS-/321355176970?_trksid=p2054897.l4276
