4th Gen Front Diff Breather
Is this the front diff breather for the 4th Gen?? If so it will defintely not need a mod. It seems to go down to the front diff.
Oh I will get my engine washed sometime

Center differential
Automatics don't need a breather - your dipstick tube serves that function.

So, while I am still waiting, hoping for someone to offer a reason as to why the 4Gen V6 has 2 breather tubes and the V8 only 1, here is another question:
Someone commented:
But my truck doesn't seem to have a transmission dipstick so does the transmission have a breather valve also?

Thus meaning the don't like to drink water the could enter the trans. when you wash the engine compartment. Remember that the AT is a hydralic transmission that works under pressure. Water in the transmission is a bad thing. Most AT's breathers are located at the top of the case and point down.
And could you imagine the smoke cloud you would have if for some reason the At got hot enough to pumpfuid out the breather tube allover your hot engine.
Sanderd transmissions are not hydralic device can take water on as soon as they cool from a deep water crossing. That is why they have a checkvalve on there breather. That helps to shut off the breather when you have water at the level of the breather. If you have towo breathers mabe you have a stadard trans or it could before the transfer case.

But your transmission does have a dipstick, next to the engine oil dipstick. It has a little clip to keep it in place as well.

Circled it in red for you!

I am thinking that there might be a different transmission in the 2003 vs 2004 V8s.
