Does anyone have a snorkel mounted on there canyon/ colly? I remember seeing something on how the Aussie holden had a snorkel from ARB that would mount up but needed a little modding.

Go on ebay and type in Holden snorkle kit. You will have to get it shipped from over sea's though so I hope your not in a hurry.

Our Expedition Team always made our own. Lowes has everything you need except the K&N filter. Can be made for about $30. 2" or 3" (black) abs (plastic) pipe and 4 to 6 stainless steel (painted black) hose clamps. For those serious about keeping water out, you'll need 3/8 clear plastic hose to vent your trans, front axle and rear axle all hooked together and routed along the outside of your snorkle with it's own small K&N vent filter.. Clear hose is better than the black hose because you can see when you have moisture in the hose, therefore a leak. We beat these snorkles in the thickest of the Central American jungles and they performed flawlessly. If you plan on making your own i can show you a pic of how to hide the aluminum rivets on the stainless clamps holding the snorkle tube. Showed Slickstevio this trick on his front shock reservoirs.

I was not aware that the Front and rear axles had vents on them. I could always go the hole cut in the fender and the flex tube way, but i wanted a more refined look. If you have any pictures of this type of build id like to see them.

I have one, not installed yet. Racer X and a few others have them. Our diffs do have vent tubes. I can't remember if the tcase does or not.

 

[Goros]

Has anyone done a how-to on extending the vents from our diffs and trans?

 

[Clutch]

^^ I dont believe so. I looked around for a how-to the other week while looking up snorkels. I just found the occasional mention like in this thread.

 

[onelow1ton]

I don't think anyone has done a vent tube how to yet . When I did my rear one I ran it up behind the tail light and its all the way at the top of the bed

 

[Goros]

Purple Cranium makes some nice breathers, I bet one would be perfect for our trucks. Time for some research.

 

[Racer X]

I ran new hoses up to the frame rails on my truck.There is one at the tranny/T-case you need to extend.

Peterson's 4 Wheel and Off-road magazine april 1998, waterproofing tips and tricks. And again in " BEST TRAIL RIDES AND TIPS Oct 18 1999. We even plumbed our power steering as well as our distributor cap to vent hoses. The atmosperic pressure in deep diving if not properly vented would blow the seals. And if your axle was hot and you began to ford cold water it would contract the cold water into the diff. Black marine sealant works the best in keeping water out. MSD makes vulcanizing tape to keep water out of the spark plug boots and spark guard (a die electric sealant) for inside the spark plug boots. We went as far as sealing our electrical relays with die- electric grease. On the principal if it's full (like a glass of grease) water can't get in. We also made a snorkle can for the heavy down pours associated with hurricanes. ??? To me it seems if it has fluid or air it needs to be plumbed. Here's a pic of the snorkle with can and small k&n vent filter.Rumble in the Jungle!

 

[Goros]

Good info.

I wonder if anyone has plumbed our evap canister?

 

[Teddy Skyles]

would this be of any use when extending diff/tranny vents

Remote Diff Cleaner

 

[Teddy Skyles]

That would give it a nice look if u plan on exposing the tube when extending it

I would probably mount it in the bed somewhere as I have a cap, and I don't mind drilling a small hole to run the tube

 

[Teddy Skyles]

Yeah I would bed mount it

Make sure the purple cranium filters are washable and top notch. I still have 2 K&N RE-0810 PK Precharger filter wraps $10. a piece. And 2 of the RU-0150 PK $5. a piece. Diggin thru the Expedition stuff found these.

 

[Goros]

Yep that's the exact unit I was talking about.

 

[OJwerks]

this is the kit im using..

Snorkel 4x4 Kit Isuzu D Max Dmax D Max Holden Rodeo RA Diesel AU Warranty | eBay


i needed to make slight modification to the airbox to make it 100% water tight.

I eliminated my evap and im going to use that opening on the airbox for the diff and t case vents, have not gotten around to that yet.
