How do you get the vent tube fitting to stay secure without falling out? It came out during r+r and doesn't seem like it fits very snug.

Epoxy, or convert to a threaded fitting.

I'm worried about the heat though. Any recommendations on a high heat tolerance epoxy? I only know about golf club epoxy.

Shouldn't be very much heat. Jb weld will work fine. Any time I have an axle or trans or transfer case rebuilt, I opt to drill and tap any breather tubes, so I can put a pipe thread barb in and never worry about it again.
