Hoses to no where

[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

I didn't design it but, I am pretty sure the ones for front and rear diff's are up high to prevent any water getting into them, (guess that blows the theory about a one way valve I guess). The hoses are heat resistant so that is why they are not melted and they are doing what they are intended to do vent pressure.

Also I am guessing that the drive train was assembled as much as possible before it was lifted up into the body of the truck......just a guess.

HUMTECH, give me some help here will ya

Please
I am trying to make some sense of what was done here (and with alot of other things Hummer has done in this design).
