Today I was planning on relocating my transmission, transfer case and rear axel breather lines up to the top of the firewall. I had to do the transmission and t-case because they bacame unhooked from the firewall and melted on the exhaust. I used a wye push-in connector and ran the two into one and ran it up to the firewall. I planned on extending the rear axle breather because I have read that the line runs only up into the wheel well. However when I traced the line out I found that it ran from the axle, to the top side of the frame rail and then back to the rear bumper where it goes into a push in connector and then to a tube that runs up inside the void in the aft-most corner of the body (D pillar?) Is this the normal location of this breather or am I looking at something else?

Thanks,
Mike

 

My understanding was that they ran into one of the taillights.

 

That could make sense, the line I located was running in that direction. Can anyone else confirm or deny that in the '04 model the rear axle breather ran up to the passenger side tail light?

thanks,
Mike

 

snap off the louvered panel in the cargo area and look, it doesnt even have screws.

 

I took a look inside the panel. The breather line I am referring to is in a void aft of the bulkhead that is visible inside of that panel. Thanks for the help, it was a good idea, but no dice.

Regards,
Mike
