Sir_Brando Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Searching for "rubber hose axle" comes up with nothing close, so here it is. After inspecting my parking brake cable, I noticed this rubber hose coming from the Axle and connecting to the frame goin nowhere. Obviously its not doing anything, but I am curious about what it is. It looks like someone was chewing on it at some point and I'm sure it has been like that the 4 or so years I've owned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 That's the diff housing vent hose. Relieves pressure in the housing and helps prolong the axle seal's lifespan. Mine looked like yours, just replace it with some new hose. I used neoprene tubing. Don't break the nylon male fitting in the cross member when replacing. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Brando Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 Awesome. When i first seen it i was hoping it was some super secret vacuum that would make my truck do more than 45mph if i replaced it. Thanks man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
