i hit quit a big mud hole today and my differential was covered in mud as far as i know. I've read that its really bad to drowned a dif because there are drainage holes that allow the mud or water to get in. i ended up getting out and driving around with no weird sounds or anything. but should i be more careful or does it not matter?

 

There are no holes, just a vent tube. Not sure where you're a routes to, mine was maybe a foot above the diff itself.

 

so i should be somewhat good?

 

How long was it under, and how deep was it.

I'd look for your vent tube, and see if it looks like it went under.

 

maybe under for 2 or 3 minutes if it was under at all

 

should be fine. if it bothers you then just change the fluid. takes like 15 minutes and its cheap

 

From what I could see from the video you posted in the other thread it looks like the water was below your center hubs so I doubt water would have gotten in through the vent.

 

ok i was freaking out yesterday cause i really don't like mud in my dif but it made for a pretty funny video i guess lol. i'll probably change the fluid anyways, wouldn't hurt
