I went out last weekend hit afew trails and something pulled my vent tube off the front axle. I did not see this till today and I got water in the front end. Besides changing the oil in it , is there anything else ya'll think I should do?

Thanks for any input ya'll can give

new vent tube connectors that go into your diff here in Colorado are $13 at the stealership. they are a dealer only part. so go hit the JY if you need a new one. they are just pressed in plastic. some are easier to get out than others new would probably be the best way to go since they are to fit in tight. also get a can of brake cleaner and spray out the diff housing really good to make sure it is nice and clean. if you want to put on a stronger diff cover or paint yours now is the best time to do it. before you remove the cover however make sure you can remove the fill plug.

The vents to my front diff and tcase both have long hoses on them that run up to the top of the firewall behind the valve cover with little white check valve caps on them. Judging by how they look I could submerge them totally and little to no water could flow back down that tube.

Im not sure if they are stock or not but I'm pretty sure I've seen the caps in the HELP! section at several parts stores.

thanks, I did't think there would be anything else to do besides put new oil in and clean it up.But I wanted to see if anyone else had anything they would do besides that.
I got the vent tube connectors and a new hose put on, now need to change the oil in it again.

Since you got water in it that makes you a mudder and I would invest into these:
