Front differential vacuum tube
Where does the front differential vacuum tube lead to and attach to?
Mine just ends near the engine into mid air. That can not be good. Please help....Thanks! 1972 Blazer |

Re: Front differential vacuum tube
It's a vent tube, not a vacuum. It just provides atmospheric vent so pressure doesn't build up and cause a leak.

Re: Front differential vacuum tube
Install a vent cap on the hose end. The hose should be clamped to top of the frame

Rh frame rail where the upward bend is in the upper surface.
I think may be shared with same hole as battery cable from above?

The donor 2003 4X4 GMC Sierra I got my engine from used the same vent plugs, so you can grab one from the wreckers.

Re: Front differential vacuum tube
Mine were 5/16. I bought some dorman part that look identical. I'd imagine that you could get them at any jobber supply place like Napa, etc.
