Eaton axle vent?

OK, just looked at my rear axle to see if I could find the code to determine the gear ratio - no luck (68 C20, Eaton rear). I found a hole on the top, driver's side that is open into the axle tube.

Should there be a vent attached there?

Heading out for a bit, but will check further later.

Re: Eaton axle vent?

Mine just has a cap vent, no hose like my D44 up front.

Thanks, I will clean it out and hope there are still threads in it.
