W22 Rear End Diff Vent missing

[Chuck Q]

I have a 2005 5342 Dolphin, had oil all over the front of the toad. Bills RV in Ventura Ca found that the Pressure Relief tube was never installed and fluid was being forced out of axle on the right side. Short fixed with a hose ans O ring. But where does one find the right type screw in releif tube???? Chuck

It took 6 years to discover it was never installed?

Never leaked or was a problem until driving across the desert in 106 Deg Temp.

Hard t believe that it didn't have a vent from the factory BUT.
If someone is really good they can drill the housing, using magnets and gease (to keep the chips out) and install a piece of tube like brake line, that could be driven into the hole. To that you can attach apiece of rubber tube to extend it.

When I had my vent problem, Redlands Truck Center did some research and came up with a new design vent from Dana, I believe it is W8002811. I don't have my paperwork with me right now.

With your axle model number WCC should be able to provide a replacement.
