    The automatic transmission breather is on the top & center of the transmission, out of sight. Besides you would have to pull the transmission to extend the breather.

    Transfer case breather is on the top near the shifter arm, also out of sight but accessible from the top if you remove your interior shifter plate.

    Do you ship to Canada and ( if not) would you be willing to ship just the fittings without the hose and clamps so I won't get raped on shipping/tax/brokerage fees?
    I can source those locally

    Here's a dumb question: why use a random fuel filter instead of an actual breather e.g. PN 90930A3001?

    EDIT: Now I understand the advantage of an open - if you will "true" - bleeder created by the fuel filter. However, is a fuel filter enough to keep dust out? Seems like it could suck in particulates as the diff cools.

    Trace it back. I'm almost 100% that is a breather line for the actuator.

    When I first saw it I thought that it was a vacuum line. But after tracing it back up it just goes to a grommet in the frame and stops there it doesn’t continue on. So I can confirm it is just a breather line .

    Does anyone have the thread pitch?
    I can't get it to screw in and will have to open up the threads...
