Dana 44 breather

Hey guys! I have been searching for a while and I can't find the breather for my rear Dana 44 anywhere. I found it on the front pretty easy but the rear is starting to annoy me. Thanks for any information given!

 

I drilled the diff cover (up high and on the right side) and installed a breather tube.

 

Look on the drivers side axle tube. Mine had a small hole that crusted over. Been a while but I welded it shut and put a real vent.

 

Me too. I drilled a hole in the axle tube and threaded in a brass nipple to run a length of hose from, up into the wheelwell.

 

Mine came with this.

 

Mine had the breather in the cover until I put in the Detroit Locker.(cover wouldn't fit.) Now it has that same fitting like yours.

 

Thanks guys you're all a huge help!

 

I was never fond of the factory rear axle breather-just nothing there to really keep water or dirt out. I drilled/taped the top of the housing and ran a breather line to my fuel filler "garage" on my 3B and put a stainless steel sintered filter on the terminus.


The housing vent is the lower one here (the upper is the fuel tank vent/roll-over valve)


The vent is basically right up against the underside of the wheel well. End of sintered filter at upper right.

 

Before you go thinking you are done, don't forget this classic thread, with pictures.
