Re: Vent tube for Dana 20 transfer case?
OK, let me try to clear up a few things.
Somebody said that the D20 hasn't got a vent hose. This may or may not be
accurate. I just do not know. What I do know is that if there is a vent
hose, it is going to LOOK similar to the one on the front axle.
Find the vent hose on the front axle and follow it up and into the engine
bay. Its top will be mounted to the fender to the side of the radiator
opening in the grill, or some equivelent location. It will be roughtly level
with the carburator. I think the idea is that if the carburator is not
drowning, the axles ought not be filling with water, if the carburator is
drowning, filling the diffs with water is merely adding insult to injury.
Now that you have identified the front axle vent hose and the small one-way
valve on the top of it, go back to the firewall and look around for another
hose with the same type of one-way valve. This will lead to the tcase, IF
the tcase has a vent hose. My D300 has a vent hose, and I made the
assumption that the D20 also had a vent hose.

Re: Vent tube for Dana 20 transfer case?
I stand corrected (it's been a couple years since I had mine out).
Below is a link to a picture of the Dana 20 vent. As you can see, it
is on the tail shaft housing directly above the speedometer cable.
Sorry for the misinformation. Mike is also correct about the
transmission NOT having it's own vent. It vents through the T'case
(shared) vent.

Re: Vent tube for Dana 20 transfer case?
The transmission is a totally separate entity.
It does not 'share' anything at all with the t-case.
The transmission has it's own stupid button vent. If you want to cross
high water safely, the button vent needs to go and a hose vent needs to
be added.
I used a piece of steel gas line to make a nipple for the hose to clamp
on to once I pulled the button vent out.

It does not 'share' anything at all with the t-case.
The transmission has it's own stupid button vent. If you want to cross
high water safely, the button vent needs to go and a hose vent needs to
be added.
I used a piece of steel gas line to make a nipple for the hose to clamp
on to once I pulled the button vent out.

Re: Vent tube for Dana 20 transfer case?
The transmission is a totally separate entity.
It does not 'share' anything at all with the t-case.
The transmission has it's own stupid button vent. If you want to cross
high water safely, the button vent needs to go and a hose vent needs to
be added.
I used a piece of steel gas line to make a nipple for the hose to clamp
on to once I pulled the button vent out.

Re: Vent tube for Dana 20 transfer case?
Just to pick nits, the 1976-`79 T-150 transmission has its _own_ vent cap,
as Mike said. The only possible venting passage between the two cases is
sealed by the gasket. For those model years -- which covers the CJ-5 that
I just finished reassembling -- there are vent caps but no vent hoses.
