I dont remember the size of the hose. I just took my fitting out and when to auto store. Bought a bunch of the correct size vaccumm hose and put those little clear fuel filters at the ends and ran them into the engine compartment.

Extended axle vent hoses!!!

i have herd its 5/16ths. it is quite simple to do just make sure that there is enough slack in the hose for your axles to fully articulate. just re route the hoses to comming out right next to the mastercylinder. if i where you at the same time i wiuold exstend the breather lines on the tranny and t-case also. the t-case is easy to do but the tranny reqiurers lifting the carpet inthe front of the cab over the tranny and opening up that cover they have screwed down. most people seem to overerlook the tranny and t-case lines(my friends anyways) and they are more **** to sucking up water than the diffs.
