Info needed: Transfer case vent

[Paul Edwards]

Thank you guys for all your assistance, in the end I took the path with lest resistance.

Giving my transfer case is the early type with the vertical nipple and cap breather and whilst accepting the modification bulletin to fit the air cleaner type, it is clear why my squashed cap had been butchered to fit the tight space available. Latter breather housings were to have a new casing exiting at 45 degrees to overcome this issue.

So with the original pipe nipple and my plumbing skills I made a cap from 22mm copper pipe and a feed end cap, once painted no one will Know.

Cheers,


Paul

You'll just have to remember that if you drive into water that is above that level you will need to change the oil in the transfer case. Mind you, I guess the other cap doesn't prevent water from coming in either. So the only minor negative is that the normal breathing of the transfer case as it heats and cools will allow unfiltered air into the gearbox. So if you go driving through the desert,, or long gravel roads, you will want to change the transfer case oil more often.

In the real world of a restored cmp, I would say there is no negative to the modification you have done.
