Vent tube

[YO MUDA]

Does the rear end vent tube suppost to be open or closed? Theres a bolt in the end of my hose, and it doesnt look like it belongs.

they have a bolt looking cap on them that lets it vent but keeps crap out of it for the most part.

If it's an actual bolt, it does not belong there. Advance Auto sells the check-valve type vent caps. If it's a 4WD and you cross deep water/mud you may want to plumb all your vents- front axle, rear axle, and transmission, to the highest point you can. I have all mine tee'd together and plumbed to the cowl with one check valve vent cap.

x2. Take he bolt out, and replace it with the check valve. I see you are local to Moore, had you been 2 days earlier, I coulda given you a hose, valve and clamp that bolts it to the bottom of the bed. I junked the truck.

How did you hear out this place Muda???

Ahhh Cool !!! Yeah, I scrapped that truck this week. And let the rear end go with it too. Didn't want to, but was out of time after being sick the last 2 weeks and not getting it stripped like I wanted too. But I sure could grabbed the Rear end hose. I had already it unbolted too since I was in process of taking the rear end.
