Default Deep Water crossing question

I took an accidental water crossing that was deeper than I expected about 20 minutes ago. I thought it was gonna be about a foot deep of water but it was about 3/4 up the side of my 33 tires before I called it a no go and backed her up. I was going at a very slow pace. Am I gonna need to drain the differentials? Front is a dana 35 and rear is the chrysler 8.25

Also from this point on I'm getting a big stick and testing the water before I drive through it again Lol

You have a Dana 30 front, 35 is only a rear axle. But like he said if your vent tubes are intact than you should be fine. If your concerned though, gear oil is a lot cheaper than new gears
