Deep Water - Post Trail Maintenance?
Hey guys,
Alright, so a few friends and I ran a trail that was flooded and caked in ice. Here's the kind of stuff we're talking about (JK is on 35s and 3-4" lift):
Anyway, I was wondering the kind of stuff I should check post-trail. My diff breather tubes are extended, so I'm pretty sure my diffs are ok. My buddies will have to change their diff oil though. :-) My air box looked good. Some splashing into the opening, but the engine should be ok. I'm more worried about my t-case and transmission. Do they have breather tubes? Kinda late know to ask the question, ey? :-) Should I change the oil in both?
I'll post a few more pics in the Trails & Tales section...

The transmission and the transfer case have breathers on them that go into the engine compartment from what I've been told. But, I haven't tracked them specifically.

Do you have a picture of those t-case and trans breathers? I'd like to check the 'splash pattern' around mine. I might send Melanie over to Guy Couture's garage tomorrow for a complete fluid change (I have to work, while she's in-between contracts). I'm pretty sure my diff and engine oil are good though. Not sure about the t-case. It gave a little knock this morning as we took off, as if some gears were stuck. Might be caused by a little water in the t-case maybe.
