Re: SCUBA Driver Transmission, Transfer Case, Rear Differential & E-Locker Breather M

Well I put all of the breather in my mouth to test them before I used them, the plastic breather is 2 way, does not seal. Of the two 1/8th diff breathers, (not sure which from locker or transfer case) one was a 2 way, did not seal, they other way a one way, it would seal under negative pressure (seal when the diff cooled)

This may explain why some are worried about pulling water from the seal, using the one way valve is going to create a very strong vacuum, the pressure will need to be released somehow, so then you'd have a case where there isn't a path of least resistance, the seal could leak/ be compromised very easily.
Both of my diffs and the elocker were one way the transfer case appeared to be two way. I say appeared because when i first tried the elocker and front diff i sucked on them just horizontally in my mouth then i was laying under the FJ when i tried the rear diff and it sealed and that got me to thinking so i tried the other two with the top pointing up as they would be on the fj and they both sealed when i sucked on them.
