water in front diff
Well I changed the diff oil today and it looked like I had a bit of water in the front one only. Should I do another oil change sooner to get out all the water or the little bit that is left wont hurt anything
. I know where I got the water from dam puddle that eat the front end of the jeep. I know that you are suppose to change the fluid anytime that water gets in there but since winter is comming I dont think I will be going thru any water anytime soon, I just dont want to worry about it during the cold winter months. Plus since it was the first change (10000 km) it was very early but wow the stuff coming out of the rear diff it look shiny with metal. Glad that i changed the fluid now only the trans and t case left to do. YAAAAAAAAAA.

If it were me , I'd pull the cover and clean all that crap out with brake cleaner. You'd be surprised the gunk left in there. Or you could go old school and fill it with diesel and run around the block a couple times, drain and refill with gear oil.
