I'm new at this. As you can see below, I got in pretty deep with my Jeep for about 2-3 minutes. I have cleaned out the air box, it does not appear that anything made it through the air filter. I made the mistake of using the clutch, so I'm trying to flush the bellhousing. Aside from the obvious mud everywhere, should I be concerned with changing fluids (diff/transfer case, etc...)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've read some other posts about mud, and just wondered if I needed to take any action. Oh, and I'm staying out of the mud.

I would definitely check and or change the fluids. Maybe even check the fuse box and any other electrical boxes under the hood to see if water or mud got in. Have you extended your breather tubes?

Haven't checked the fuse box, good idea. Everytime I open the hood there is more mud. I have not extended the breather tubes. This Jeep is stock. I didn't mean to get this deep.

pretty sure the '12s have breather tubes that run up near the top of the fire wall stock. Did she get out under her own power?

Mud pit at Uwharrie?

You'll have mud in the radiator fins, too. You may even have to take the radiator or the condenser out to get them clean.

I hate mud!! LOL!!

Good luck man!! Be sure to clean your radiator big time or you'll run hot.

Yes, she was able to get out on her own. If the tubes run up the firewall, I think that should be ok. No mud got that high that far back. I'll have to check.

Yep. End of the day.

So after 4 separate washings, I think I got most of it out. Spent a lot of time on it from above and underneath. There always seems to be more. The driveway looked like a trail. Can't wait to see the water bill.

So should I do a fluid change on it? What will this do for my warranty?
