Rear axel vent tube.

[Wes Davis]

I was standing away from my truck and I noticed a line hanging from the axle and dragging the ground. It appears to be some sort of rubber hose vent tube for the rear axle. It is connected to the axle between the differential and drivers side wheel. I think I have seen it posted on here where these have fallen off before. Can someone please tell me before I crawl under there where to look so I can hook this tube back up. Thanks

Could you please spell axle correct. those of us with the name Axel have a hard enough time as it is.

Axel is a Germanic name, also common in Scandinavia meaning "My father is peace". It is a Danish form of the Hebrew name Absalon.

Oh, you guys are going to get it!



Just crawl under; you'll see where it goes. It's supposed to be attached above breather hole in the axle tube. Thre is a clip just forward of the shock top mount position.



Check the photo.

Thanks guys for the vent tube info.



We all know there is only one axle that matters and it is spelled like this. AXL
