Re: hose coming from top of the rearend
my brother told me it was a breather incase if it gets to hot in the rear, so the pressure doesnt build up. but yea its a vent.

Re: hose coming from top of the rearend
It is a breather/vent hose. If the gear oil heats up and creates pressure it has a place to release rather than just blowing out the gasket or seal.
There is a one way check valve on the end to prevent water from going through in the event the axle is submerged.
