How are most of you handling the small vent on the 8.8 rear ends? Mine just came with a hose barb & no info:confused:

Anyone with the IRS setup have a vent in theirs? Mine didn't come with one and have been trying to track one down.

Got my fitting and tube from my Ford dealer. Tube had to be straightened in some places and bent in others for a good fit. A heat gun works very well with the tube. Easy to bend or straighten. Just take your time.

I used a glass filter with the hose connection removed from one end and frame mounted.

No longer available from Ford.
The hole is about the same size as 3/8 Tube. I clamped a hose around a short piece of tubing, and then epoxied the tubing into the hole in the differential. That was about 2 years ago. It's only a track car, so it doesn't get a lot of miles. But it seems to be holding well.
