Help! What's this? Rear Differential 1980
« on: Oct 08, 2006, 01:45:39 AM »
Good Morning, maybe someone can assist.  I'm restoring a 1980 Toyota 4X4 Pickup, have the Bed off, cleaning frame and differential area.

On top of the differential is a cap, seems loose after cleaning.  Can someone inform what this is? is it an adjustment?  should I adjust? or check? or leave alone.  please see photo below.  thanks in advance for any assistance.

leave it alone, it's just a breather vent.  it is just a loose cap over the hole and seems loose now cause you cleaned the dirt and crap out from around it.
