Not sure if this is where I post this....

Not to sure if I should post this here, it involves the front axle,rear axle,transfer case and the transmission. So here goes, I had an idea of the vent lines, to connect them together with "T" fittings and one hose to vent which would go up between the backside of the cab and front side of the bed and curl it (hose) at the top of the bed so no water would be able to enter any of the components.

Any pro's or Con's to this?

Sounds like a good idea. Only con i can see to it, is running the hose clean and in a way that it wont rub or kink. Besides that shouldnt be a problem. Although you may want to go to a larger diameter hose for the common line, but even then it wouldnt make that big of a difference. Oh on other con. Added cost of T-fittings and additional hose.

I was gonna run mine for the trans, and transfer case into the cab behind the jumpseats and build a nice looking header for them. I was planning on running the front axle real high in the engine compartments with a bell type fixture over it to prevent water from getting in, and the rear i was gonna run up to the underside of the bedrail.

Well see, if you have to go through water there is that chance of the water getting into those lines, that is why I wanted to connect all the lines together and make a drip loop over the top edge of the bed, that way I would have to be so deep in water, that the Axles,Transfer and tranny would be the least of my worries

That is an awful lot of hose to run!

My rear axle and t-cases are on one line up to the master brake cylinder. Then my front axle has its own line. Both rap around the master in the fashion that you stated. Works great for me.

Not sure if this is where I post this....
