[jsbihn]

seems like alot of tubing for a vent and that they are capped

btw, is it possible they could leak oil?

Wouldn't think that they would leak

damn thats just awkward

as for the leak, yeah i have one now and cant figure out where it is coming from.
Thought when I saw oil on the hoses that it might be them, but there is some oil all over the place.

Oh well.
weird things done by Hummer

I was checking my vent lines at the case while doing my 50k.

What I found weird is they weren't clamped on. I grabbed a zip tie.

I didn't trace them to the plugged end as manual just said check for kinks at tc.

Why are the vent tubes plugged?

[Easy Ed]

I don't think they are "plugged" but that they are a "one way valve" to vent out any pressure/gasses that may build up in the cases from heat and maybe also to keep the pressure from trying to go out any shaft seals which would cause leaks, just a guess on my part

$$$ .... That seems to make perfect sense.... More than perfect.

Riddle me this please
So then, why (what appears to be) 4 feet of hose that goes to the engine area along side what becomes a hot transmission?

I would think that just a few inches of hose out of the way would do the same with that valve on it. Right?
I would also think that if you were to do something like the oem setup (with the supposed 4 feet of hose), that you would route it to an area away from the heat or the engine area (like say to the side of the truck or the back). Right?

Just wondering why they have it setup like this??
Inquiring mind want to know
