Differential Breather Mod for Dummies (Pics)

Don't fucking go here. First they require you to make an account. Then they store all of your information (CC info included). Then they sign you up for their newsletter without an option to opt out (from the create screen). THEN they tell you there's actually a $10 minimum order stipulation AFTER you put all this in!

To top it off, THEY DON'T GIVE YOU A WAY TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT!

 

I did this today, easy peasy.
I used some of the ideas from Neubss and Fletch aka.

 

Anyone have a source for the Toyota parts? Camelback has gotten Insane with their shipping. Bad thing was I was at the local Toyota dealer the other day and they didn't have them in stock. They offered to order them but I thought no Ill just order them from camelback and help support TW. Then they tried charging me 15$ to ship 9$ in parts.

 

I just had my local dealership order them.

Im using vacuum hose for this, does anyone think that could be a problem? I dont see why it would.

Also, pics in OP no longer work.

 

Gathering parts to do this. Thank you for making it!

 

It will reach, but you'll regret it. The line needs to have some slack to account for the droop of the suspension. I'd say around 8ft is a good length. Try Home Depot or Lowes or places like that. They usually have some.

 

I used 5ft of line, bought 10ft and cut it for another member. My fitting is ziptied to the top of the filler pipe {note not hardmounted through a drilled hole}. After several offroad trips I have not been close to pulling on it.

 

This is debateable.

One thing that i see running a 1 way valve like the stock setup and even the valve posted in the OP... your axle is hot from use from driving, you go to cross a stream (read much colder) the 1 way valve does not allow a quick inrush of air due to the quick cool down of the air in the dif, only other way for something to come in is the 3 main seals (pinion and axles) which would suck in water at that point.

When i do this i will have a small stone filter or crank case breather

 

Then you would know better than me. I ziptied mine to the top of the filler pipe as well, and to the bottom. But I left more slack than my brake lines so when I inevitably install the lift kit I won't have to extend this again, as well the brakes.

 

OK, I am trying to order these parts and not having much luck. I can find the first part (#

$8 90404-51026 Intake Air Control Valve Union

90404-51026) but nobody shows the part #90930-03146 on their site? One problem I have is everyone wants me to enter my vehicle information and I assume these aren't original parts for my vehicle but I was just curious if anyone else had problems finding the second part (I think it is the Breather Union). I have reached out to my local dealer buy they are less than stellar when it comes to parts help. I had to get behind the desk and point out all the washers/gaskets to the guy when I was changing all the oil in my diffs, t-case, and transmission. Good times!

 

I copied and pasted the part numbers in on camelback toyota parts site, and they both popped right up. Ordered them and had them in 5 days.

Here is the link to the site, i'll try to get you the links to the parts

Here is the union: http://parts.camelbacktoyota.com/pa...make=Toyota&action=oePartSearch&siteid=214329

And.....here is the breather: http://parts.camelbacktoyota.com/pa...make=Toyota&action=oePartSearch&siteid=214329

Best of luck

 

THANK YOU! I just ordered them and in doing so, realized why I couldn't find one of the parts...I wrote the part number down WRONG...that will do it! Thanks again.

 

Check this spot out for the BREATHER relocation. The Bulkhead of the tail lights. You can go as high as you want, all the way up to the bed rail. Drill a hole in there, and mount the filter.



In that spot, it is higher than the engine bay location, bed box, and gas spout location.

 

No problem buddy. This is the best part about the forums! I love helping out

 

How many ft of hose did that take? I just bought 6ft. I may try that. I don't want it in my bed or bed pockets and i really wasn't crazy about it being in my gas filler area where it could get contaminated :/

Thanks for the info!

 

I mounted mine up there on the drivers side. Took about 7ft, but I left plenty of room for axle movement.

 

Nice. Like that others are utilizing that area. Drivers side or passengers side is equidistant from the breather area. If you are worried, buy 10'. use what you want then return the rest. I mean, it is sold by the foot, right?

 

Its sold by the foot but i only have 6ft of it lol

I didn't want to buy any mas lol

 

Most places won't let you return stuff that's been cut.
