Tranny and T-case breathers

I don't know the answer to the second question, but in regard to the breather lines for the T150 and Dana 20, take a pair of vice grips and grab that little breather on the Dana20, turn it out (it's a standard RH thread), and inside, you'll find 3/8" pipe thread. I took my 3/8" pipe thread die and just cleaned the threads up a bit, and then threaded a 3" long piece of 3/8" pipe in there to attach my vent line to. I just ran the t-case vent over to the frame where it attaches to a T fitting...one end goes to the rear axle, one end goes towards the front to another t-fitting (one to the front axle, one from the back, and one up to a little plastic inline fuel filter high above the waterline...)

p.s. How are the poor man's lockers working?

Trying to come up with a witty line to end all of my posts...

Are you sure it's 3/8" pipe thread and not 1/8" pipe thread? At the hardware store you can buy compression fittings to hook up your vent hoses. Mine are all on quick connects, but now that I think about it, they really don't need to be. I have also heard using a rubber baby's nipple will help keep the water out but let the tranny/other breathe. Why take the easy road out though...

The whole setup for mine cost about $10, in case anyone is wondering, and it includes the hose.

Good, though I haven't really been anywhere that'd give 'em a real test. This weekend hopefully. Had some electrical problems that were a bitch to track down (a short caused by pinching a wire when I jacked up the engine to pull a motor mount). Awkward, though..... I'm trying to figure out a cheap way to apply the brake without pushing on the pedal. A secondary master cylinder driven by an air cylinder seems to make the most sense, but I don't have an onboard air compressor yet. Mico makes some real neat remote actuators, but at their prices I might as well go with an ARB.....
