I am planning on installing my new to me 8.25 over the Labor Day holiday week (on vacation)! I am missing the vent bolt that holds the block to the axle. I have searched and have come up with no name or part number. What is the bolt/vent called and where can I get it? I want to get what I need so I can get this done and make my impatient life easy! Thanks to all

 

go to the JY & get one

 

I just posted something similar in Ask A Question. My donor 8.25 came with just the hard lines, no block, no bolt... nada. I don't even know the name for it lol.

If I do find out I'll post here. Factorychryslerparts.com pobably has them for $9000/ea

 

Fool




Don't know about the bolt... JY

 

Whatever, guy can only check one thread at a time lol. :P I thought that was the front brake hose anyway.

At any rate I did find this pic that demonstrates the hookup. I must've thought that the vent bolt thing was where the brake hose connected.



#3, the strange vent screw, is P/N 52067508. Factorychryslerparts.com has em for $3.60

JY pickins for 8.25s are seriously rare here.

 

That's not a bad price. Glad to help

 

Fairly sure the d35 vent bolt thing is the same, they are a ***** to find. As for the block, if you get new brake lines (RE stainless steel braided or similar or even stock) the rear one comes with the block.

 

Look for older rear wheel drive chrylsers 8.25 axles been around for a while...http://teamcherokee.com/axle-vent-sc...kee-1994-2001/

 

Dana wont work and your existing brake line works.

 

Thanks salad. I appreciate the part number and web site. I will check them out and get one order ASAP! I have a new braided extended brake line so all I need is the bolt/vent to have all the parts needed for the install. I would hate to be held up over a small part.. Thanks again..

 

put part number on ebay theres plenty of them cheaper than ford...

 

Thanks feegdr..

 

Well, just tried to place my order..Notice I said tried? $2.81 for the part, $13.91 to ship it and then they said that I didn't meet the $10 minimum purchase! So for a $2.81 part, the grand total was going to be $16 and some change and they tell me that I haven't met the minimum purchase! WTF??

I am dropping my Cummins off Monday for it's yearly service so I will check with the Mopar parts guru and see what they come up with.
