F-350 Axle Vent Hose Routing
 

On my 95 350, I have found that the rear axle vent hose isn't clipped to the frame or body and has just been routed out of the way. There appears to still be a clip on the line for mounting it, though. It is also capped by what looks like a vacuum hose Y-fitting.

1. Where exactly is the axle vent hose supposed to be clipped to?
2. What should the vent end of the hose terminate in?

Pictures would be appreciated, thanks.

Anyone have any input on this?

anywhere up out of the way near the frame will work.
all it is for is to keep water out of the differential when going through deep water.

Venting...
 

The distal end of the axle vent hose on this model should be clipped up on the bottom lip of the frame rail on the driver side. If you have installed a lift kit the original hose may be too short and pull away. Given the age, you may want to replace it anyway; the original has probably dried/cracked.

dn.

+1 what donnor said. Capping the end is a white plastic barb that isn't a T or a 90, rather it bends back farther than 90 degrees. I'm sure there are better solutions that serious 4x4ers use.

Yeah, they use the one way vent caps of the type Jeep pioneered.
