Diff Question

[HitMan]

So I noticed that my rear diff looked like it was sweating so I went to check to see if it was leaking anywhere and notice this little tube out of the top that I just never noticed before. Does anyone know what it is for, or am i missing a tube that should be going somewhere? Is it a breather tube?

That should be the connector for the breather hose, you need to add the hose back. Get a nice long one and get it up high, so no water gets in there.

rgallant is rite you need to get a hose and route it as high as you can,and there is a breather hose on your tranny,T-case, and front diff so you'll need to route them up higher to I ran them up into the engine bay on my pathy and I wouldnt go through any deep water till you get'em re-routed cuz the hose on my front diff was missing like yours is on the rear and I went through a deep mud hole and had to change the gear oil cuz it was milky
