i lost the part number for the thingy that you can replace the stock diff breather with and put this in and then attach a hose to it.
does this make sense to anyone?
i have gotten one before from toyota for my tacoma, but but i need one for the front end of my '84, but like i said i lost the part number and i'm hoping someone would be kind enuf to share theirs:D

Thanks

Hey man next time that you are in a junkyard look for the fittings that the brake booster hose hooks to on the intakes of most any import cars. One of my fittings came off of a spare 22r intake that I had and the other one came off of a intake for a mitsubishi eclipse 4 banger. Happy hunting.

your looking for the diff breather from a Nissan pickup axle.

The Nissan part number is 38323-C6010.

I like good old 1/8" NPT fittings. On some axles I need to run a greased 1/8" tap down to clean out the threads a little but then you have a wide choice of fitting to choose from, elbows, hose barbs, etc.

The Nissan one is good, if you have a Nissan dealer close by. The one on the rear axle of the early Cruisers is part #90404-10018, it should also work well, but the barb requires a bigger hose.

If you have access to a decent hardware store, you can get 1/8" NPT fittings, one for a hose barb works great, although sometimes they are tough to get started into the Toy housing. When I swapped my wider rear axle, the PO had cross-threaded the breather hole threads, so I bought a 1/8" NPT tap (about $5), ran it through, then the hose barb went right in.

any toyota efi eng will have 2-3 on the intake. I know the one for the brake booster will fit the diff breathers. There maybe some on carb'd eng's too.

The Toyota Part # is, 90404-51319.

I just pryed that stupid cap off and hooked my hose on the part still in the diff...

That is what I did the same as Toyota_jim, and then I jammed another one on top, a few hose clamps to make sure the tube dosnt pop off. and your all set! Realy easy to do
I didnt spend 2 dollars on the whole thing! get some tube from Napa, and 'pocket' some breathers from the junkyard!

I agree with 4CrawlR. I'v done the same to mine.

Yea....1/8 npt fittings popped right in mine without a thread chase at all.:D

A tip on the 1/8 NPT fittings, use a brass fitting, it will deform to the harder steel housing (assuming non-IFS). I did the same thing on the aluminum IFS diff housing too. This way you don't mess up the stock metric threads.

Yeah, did the same as well.
