Swoffy

When they are flushing your diffs (2) have them rotate the air in your tires too

When gear oil is mixed with water it foams up and looses it's lubricating properties and can rust the parts inside the diffs.. Not Good.

I try to stay out of water past the recomended fording depth

Is it ok to rotate the air in the front tires with the back tires?

If water didn't get inside and you heard two quick pops after hitting the skid plate real hard chances are it was the rear diff touching down in two different spots. The front diff is covered by the skid plate, its the thing that makes the front axel turn, FYI.

My H3 Water Story in the thread below:

In short, I had my rear diff, and the whole backend of my truck under water for over 30 minutes, much longer than you. My damage was water seeped into the gas tank solenoid valve, located on top of the tank putting it above the 24" fording depth for the H3. The water contaminated my system so I staled out and was deadlined. The oil weight in the diffs are very heavy and are designed to keep out water, I had the dealer check during my repairs and reported them to be in good condition.

I think if you had water in your truck you'd know. If you've already pushed a tank of fuel through it, I'd say that's not your problem. Go ahead and run a cleaner through it just in case.

Did you check your air filter after battle.. was is moist/damp?

Wow.

Ok, obviously you don't know very much about how four wheel drive works.

I predict even more damage in the future.

It's cool you are wheeling the rig, but if you don't know how it works, you WILL find out.
