Frequently asked questions

Why should I fit diff and drivetrain breathers?

Factory breathers are often short and located low, which can let water and dust enter when the components heat up and cool down. Extended breathers relocate the vents higher and use filters to reduce the risk of water and contamination entering differentials, gearboxes and transfer cases, especially in off-road and water crossing use.

What is the main benefit of installing the HKB breather kit on my Ford Explorer or Holden Jackaroo?

The main benefit of installing the HKB breather kit is to prevent water and debris from entering your differential and transmission. By relocating the breather point above the water line, you reduce the risk of contaminants being sucked into the drive chain, which can lead to significant wear and potential failures.

How does the installation process for the HKB breather kit work?

The installation process for the HKB breather kit is straightforward. It involves mounting the heavy-duty 316 stainless steel fixture securely to your vehicle, connecting the custom breathing tube, and ensuring the high flow breathers are fitted correctly. The kit includes all necessary components and can typically be installed with basic tools.

Is the HKB breather kit compatible with other vehicles or only specific to Ford Explorer and Holden Jackaroo?

The HKB breather kit is specifically designed for Ford Explorer models prior to 2000 and Holden Jackaroo models prior to 1999. While it may not be directly compatible with other vehicles, similar kits may be available for different models. Always check the specifications before purchasing.

What materials are used in the HKB breather kit, and why are they important?

The HKB breather kit is constructed from high-quality materials, including heavy-duty 316 stainless steel for the angle fixture and 304 stainless steel for the mounting screws. These materials are essential for durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring the breather system remains functional in harsh environments.

What maintenance is required for the HKB breather kit after installation?

After installation, it is recommended to periodically inspect the breather system for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure that the breathers are clean and free from blockages. Regular checks will help maintain optimal performance and longevity of the system.

Can the HKB breather kit help with off-road performance?

Yes, the HKB breather kit significantly enhances off-road performance by preventing water and mud from entering the differential and transmission. This is particularly beneficial when traversing deep water or muddy terrain, as it ensures your vehicle's drivetrain remains protected and functional.
