Default Replaced Axle Vents

I took off my axle vents and put in some piping and hooked them all up to a central vent under the hood up by the motor.

Our road is very dusty, not sure if the dust did it or not, but one of the vents stopped working and blew out a seal and washed out all the grease in the bearings.

Is that a 939 series truck ?

I've been thinking about doing that with my 932a1. I plan to have a little fun with the truck !

What type of air line did you use ?

Yes it is a M923A1. I used parts from Parker with plastic tubbing, like air line tubbing.
I used 5/16" line. After I got the parts I found some fitting that are 1/8" pipe and 3/8" tubing.
So I would of used 3/8" tubbing, but I think the 5/16" will work fine.
It took about 48' of tubing.

on the end of the vent line, install a cheap inline gas filter, this will keep the dust out but allow the vents to breath

YEP, you can replace ALL FIVE vents with a fittings and vaccum hose faster then replacing ONE seal, I would add the master cylinder to the vent system, if not adding then give it it's own line
