diff vents
i have a few ?s on diff vents on a 78 f150 with d44 and ford 9".
1-are they supposed to have hoses on them running to the highest point?
2-how do i service or unplug them?
3-could a plugged vent cause my rear axle seal leak?
4-do i hook up the hoses to something solid or let them have some play?
thanks

1-yes, the hose just runs up to the frame somewhere, hook it with a ziptie
2-take them off, run wire or a small drill bit through them (you should see right through them) and clean them out
3-yes, the pressure has to go somewhere
4-the open end just hangs loose, once you have it secured up high enough not to get water in it
