Really cool how he tells you sizes of needed materials if you want to go to ACE or somewhere else besides just trying to sell their product. I'm just gonna buy this kit. 30 bucks vs a couple thousand for a new diff? Already had 1 diff go out on my X because of the factory part.
Really appreciate the info from the video and especially clarifying the thread for the axel connection!
Super easy to install, I purchased my kit directly with ADO. I did not feel like sourcing everything separately. Good price about what you would spend in terms of money, but far less time sourcing. So in my opinion it's cheaper.
I just did this breather mod to my 2010 nissan titan SE and used a 1/8 BSPT to 1/4 barb fitting since I couldn't find a fitting with a bigger barb size. I hope this helps people looking for the right 1/8 BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread (28 per inch)) fitting. Don't use 1/8 NPT bc the thread count (27 per inch) and design of the thread is different.
Really appreciate the in depth details and specs. I have 1 question though. Couldn't you take the stock one apart & put a house on it for relocation?
I have 37,000 miles on my ‘19 Pro4x, I’ve only went through deep water once and don’t off-road much. I plan on checking this out this weekend. I wish I had known about this sooner because I would’ve replaced it the day after I brought her home.
Is the waterproofing sufficient air flow? Also is it failproof?
Alldogs have a question hopefully you or someone on here will answer!
Installed the ado diff breather relocate kit yesterday I think it went well beside it took effort to screw the barb in, the bard screwed down pretty much all the way to axel but I noticed tiny bit of brass thread flaked off! Please tell me if I screwed up my axle threads?!
What does the fitting tapper to. 1/8 to 1/4 ?
Thanks for your video.. Explains the issue and the solution very well. I would like to confirm one thing though. Will the alldogs breather fit directly on the Nissan Armada 2014? I'm not offroading much so a bolt on is just good for me without the relocator. Didn't find any video on YT showing someone putting this on an Armada.
It should work!
BSPT ? British pipe thread ?
Watched about half the video waiting for relevant information.
What is it, what does it do, where is it, what tools do I need, and how do I change it?
That's what I wish all automotive tutorials answered, quick and to the point.
def long
Bobby you seem to be in a hurry when this guy is here giving up his time to share great information that a lot of people that need help
Great video to the point and with good tips for DIYs lol this is something I need to do to my xterrs soon so will be getting the kit
i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream new series online ?
@Casey Brady try FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)
@Alvaro Azariah yup, have been watching on FlixZone for years myself :D
@Alvaro Azariah thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!
@Casey Brady happy to help =)
I bought the relocation kit and I don’t do any off-roading period. After reading the failures of the stock breathers I didn’t want to take a chance especially on my 22’.
Good choice
Maybe I just want a full titan suspensions swap.😅 the preventative maintenance 👨🏿🔧 comment was 💯 accurate. That I agree with. I mean if you had a new axe and you turn those tires in the mud long enough you could blow an axe seal. I get it set it and for get it.
Not many people were wrench turners for their first career. 😅 Ty for the video. I heard a puddle made the failure happen and I was triggered by whoever told that person that on RUclips. If only people made important parts out of magnesium. Lmao
Here's what I'm very concerned about with the type of kit that just has a filter on the end like what Gorilla off road supplies: Do you remember or do you still have the oem one from the factory that you could check & see if it had a positive seal like a check valve where it would seal out atmospheric air from the rear end until enough pressure builds up to open the valve & release pressure? If so I'm concerned that it may not be desirable to have the differential always open to the atmosphere & allow condensation to settle inside of the diff especially when the humidity is high. Your version is a little different but I believe it's going to allow air to flow freely as well...could you please confirm that for me as well with the one that you sell? That's why I'm wondering if the guy from this video has the right idea. He used a Dorman diff vent on the end behind the tail light that should close when it doesn't need to be open & I would really appreciate your input on it cuz you seam like a really smart guy. I can't tell from your video so can you tell me if the oem one has a little screen that's always open to the atmosphere anyway? Here's the video: ruclips.net/video/sqCH6K5lsjE/видео.html
where is this located, is it easy to get to?
I don’t off road & I never submerge the rear end in water on my Frontier. I live in the rust belt & have a 2019 model. The vent spring still moves freely up & down & I’m wondering if you think it would be ok to just leave the factory vent in place & just check it & maybe oil it @ each oil change?
The problem with the rust belt is that it can rust the vent shut and be hard to replace. I'd still relocate it
So with the barb that you supply, no thread lock or sealer is needed? So many people on the forums state you have to put sealer on the threads? My opinion is the OEM unit doesn't use sealer so?? Is there any kind of maintenance on this filter you supply? Does the membrane last years and years? or needs to be replaced every so often? If the membrane fails?? Just curious about that if you can expand. Thank You.👍😎
no just teflon tape, the threads are slightly tapered
@@ArmChairKoalaBare yeah but that's the thing I mean people on the forums do not recommend using Teflon tape and actually state that there's no sealer or Teflon tape from the factory it's just screwed in 🤔
@@eppyz its not gonna hurt anyhting at all could eve use liquid teflon if you want ..probably not needed honestly.
hey, im wondering how capable a nissan frontier se v6 4x4 king cab could be? i want to do some light to medium off roading and need a 6ft bed. i cant find any king cab pro 4x near me but can find the se. i am wondering if i get the se for a killer price would it be worth buying and overtime try and find a pro 4x axel to swap in? or should i go on a country wide shopping trip for a pro 4x? thanks
While the Pro-4X is definitely a great choice for offroading, and SE/SV is no slouch! Swap that rear axle in and you'll be in even better shape. If the price is right, I say go for it.
Is there only one breather on that passenger side or is there one on the driver side of the rear dif too??
there's only one breather in the rear axle.
My friend, I already bought the yellow piece that goes on the chassis and it didn't fit and it is the correct size.
how often should you replace the one you just screw into the axle ?
I checked mine every oil change or significant offroad trip. Running remote now.
Do you have to use anything on the threads?
If you're still curious, you can use teflon tape on them
why not just replace the factory vent periodically. Even your version may have a tendency to fail without knowing. At least with the factory vent to can test that the cap is moving freely.
Shittt you are right.
Does the pro4x need this mod since it has the d44 variant diff
yes.. it still has the standard vent.. mine was sealed up tight with mud
@@mattrage1673 thanks man I just got a 2011 frontier pro4 I m going to need to get on that asap being the year that truck is
@@chrischavira2768 no worries I'm looking for the stinking fitting to do it myself.. cant find one..
ordered and will install today...you should have some directions in it or a link to this video. When replacing breather do you need plumbers tape?
where does hose clamp go on the breather side or axle side?????????????????
Just called them .....excellent feedback
@@jthamm8362 Realistically you would want to put hose clamps on both sides! You do not want either end of the hose coming free and allowing water to enter!
I relocated my rear diff breather with ADA kit. Is the front differential a concern as well? If not, Why would they make the two different ?
front diff has a breather hose from the factory that runs up to the airbox in the engine compartment
ewwww bspt british pipe taper i work in a hydraulic hose shope and the tapered british thread is super uncommon and like he said dont use standard npt (national pipe thread) it will definitely mess up your threads
Are you the guys that work with Crazy Qadie
Yes we are! Great guy!
I have a O4 Titan and need help
If choosing your first option to just replace the breather, do you recommend anything like tape on the threads or is that unnecessary? I’ve seen others recommend it. If doing the second option of full relocation, is a clamp not needed for the breather at the end of the tube?
I asked the same thing. He did mention in the video that the barb he supplies is tapered and creates a seal. So with that said, maybe he answered our question? The OEM part does not use a sealer, it just screws in. I think some folks especially on the forums over think things. If you use sealer and over apply it can fall into the axle or teflon tape can do the same thing. Most companies that sell this kind of part, none of them say to use a sealer.
@@eppyz Proper pipe threads don't require tape to create the seal but you may to use it to prevent galvanic corrosion (when dis-similar metals corrode to each other and effectively become welded together)
@@SeibChris ok just trying to figure out the best course of action. There is something on the OEM threads from the factory so if it's not needed why is it there? I just assumed it was some kind of sealer.
@@eppyz teflon tape is a good idea because of the corrosion factor but you only need one or two wraps. You never need 4-5-6 wraps like people tend to use when they're trying to get a bad joint to seal.
there been folks that axle seals blow out even after these type mods
