Dana 30 vent tube loose
I just discovered the diff vent tube is loose where it connects to the
housing. This is a Dana 30 on an '85 CJ-7. This is the fitting that
connects directly to the diff housing. The rubber hose connects to the
other end. It's loose in the hole. I don't know if it's just pressed in
or sealed in some way. Is there something inside the housing to secure
it? Now I have to avoid water until I figure out how to fix it. Would
epoxy or silicone be appropriate? Do I need to buy some particular
seal? I'm not having any luck web searching or checking the catalogs.
Thanks.

Re: Dana 30 vent tube loose
It is just a press fit. Mine was loose and I just used some JB weld
epoxy on it.
So if you are into water, you should be aware that your transmission
does 'not' have a high water vent like the t-case and diffs.
Jeep in their wisdumb decided a stoopid button vent on the shift tower
would do.
I pulled the button vent out, also a press fit) and put a piece of steel
gas line in the hole to make a hose nipple. It fit tight but I used
epoxy just for good measure and ran the hose up by the battery.
