Product Description

Enhance the off-road performance of your truck by installing Z1's Rear Differential Breather Kit! This kit is an easy-to-install upgrade that extends the life of your truck's driveline by relocating the vent to a higher position. This keeps contaminants outside of the rear differential where they rightfully belong – in the great outdoors.

WHY DO I NEED IT?

Located on the rear differential of your truck, a breather is installed that allows excess gasses to be vented from the rear differential as it heats and cools during use. This has two major disadvantages on off-road vehicles:

  1. When traversing through water or mud, it is possible for water to enter the differential, mixing with gear oils and causing damage to internal components and seals.
  2. It is very common for dirt and mud to clog the fitting, allowing excess pressure to build inside the differential case. As pressure increases, it damages axle seals resulting in fluid leaks and expensive repairs.

With this complete kit, you can conveniently relocate the breather to a higher position beneath your truck, effectively preventing contaminants from reaching the vent. We've gone the extra mile by providing you with 6ft of reinforced hose, offering ample flexibility to accommodate most standard lift kits. Installation is a breeze with our user-friendly design. The kit comes complete with detailed instructions and all the necessary hardware, eliminating the need for specialized tools or expertise. You'll have your kit installed and ready to roll in no time.

Features:

  • Easy-to-install kit
  • Relocates the vent to a higher position
  • Stainless steel differential fitting doesn't rust
  • Prevents seal damage from excess case pressure

Fits:

  • 1998-2021 Nissan Frontier (D22, D40)
  • 2022+ Nissan Frontier (D41)
  • 1999-2015 Nissan Xterra (WD22, N50)

Also compatible with Nissan Titan rear axles.

Very easy to install if you remove the RR wheel. I ran it up behind the taillight, which is very easy to remove on a D41. However, have a few more high-quality zip ties on hand, as they only give you 2. I rigged something together, but wish I'd been prepared with some spares.

My complaint isn't with the product itself but the time it took to receive my order. I purchased a rear axel rebuild kit and diff breather. I paid for two day shipping since I had to go out of state and needed my truck to pick up a bass boat in Louisiana. I received my order 12 days later. I had to reach out to get information and was given a generic excuse that they were waiting on their parts team, what ever that means. If parts are not immediately available do not advertise as in stock. I wouldn't have order the product if I had known. Or at least ship out what is available. Now I have to ask for time off again to rebuild my rear and the go out of state.

Super easy install. Only hesitation is that the provided piece to screw into your OEM breather hole was questionable. A couple half turns were easy, a couple were difficult; it was back and forth the whole way down. Yes I cleaned both male and female threads before installing

This part fit perfectly. I chose a more conservative route above the frame to the diff, so the hose was just the right length, while still allowing a little slack for movement. Easy install, easy instructions, great quality parts

This is so easy to install, a perfect fit, and something I encourage everyone to do. You don’t need this just in case you cross streams and rivers. It can be helpful if you’re driving on the highway or through deep snow. Spray and splash can get up in the factory breather a lot of different ways.

Exactly as advertised. Removed the small vent on the rear axle housing, installed the adaptor connector, removed my passenger side taillight and ran the hose above the axle with an added bit of slack for flexing. Does what it's supposed to do and it was super simple to install. One of the easiest insurances for the D41 Frontier. 10/10 recommend

Kit is good however my clamps that came with it were too big. With everything mounted I can still slide the clamps. So essentially the clamps are doing nothing to seal it. So I will now have to go buy my own clamps.

Best price for a pre-assembled breather relocation kit. Only downside to this kit is that the breather valve doesn't have a waterproof/breathable membrane inside (I removed the silver cap and it's a straight shot through). If relocating to the tail light then it shouldn't have a problem with dust but I did add an in-line fuel filter for that little bit of extra dust protection and peace of mind. I also added some wire loom to protect the house from rubbing but it's not completely necessary. As is this is a great option overall!

Very easy to install. Came with two extra long, extra strength zip ties to help secure it. The pipe was plenty long to leave slack and reach up to behind my passenger tail light. The installation video was very helpful.

More than enough hose to route up to the tail lamp cavity. I routed mine along the brake hoses and wiring harness using zip ties, with slack for movement. Highly recommend for any Frontier owner to save your rear end (literally).
