How many vent hoses on 01-02 4WD?

[johnnyCZ]

Simple question(s), I could not find proper diagram for this:
- Are the vent hoses from t-case and tranmission supposed to be connected together?
- Or, should there be two vent hoses, one for t-case, other for the tranny?

There is a hose joint on top of transmission but I'm not certain if I should connect t-case hose there...

Mine were separate when I pulled them but somebody else had already pulled the trans once before. I don't think it really matters.

Well I'm asking mainly because the hose leading from tranny vent joint to t-case seems bit too long and thus not going upward for the full length. Can this be an issue? I know that tranny vent hose should alway lead upwards.

As long as you don't drive in water deep enough to enter you're ok but if it's long, just tie it up high.
