Jeep was stuck in a creek for 4 hours the other day.(See https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f59/my...5/#post1349145)

I know that I will have to check my differentials for water, and engine oil, but what else? I know there must be more.

It was mainly the rear end under water. The engine never went under.

then you should be fine man. of course check your diffs and axles . but you should be fine derp.. pics dont look bad

Derp

how do you go about checking for water in the diffs anyways?

I imagine you'd have to pull the covers and refill with good fluid.

idk it seems if you have water in the diff you have a leaking seal that needs replacing, dk if its true or not but I have always heard if you see an area that looks "foamy" that is where water is leaking in from.... but idk

I have a leaking seal but have yet to check to see if thats true.

Drain all fluids.... refill and flush fluids out with proper fluids. Repeat several times... I also would recommend that you spend some time looking at your bearings. When I sank mine I spend a lot of time looking at my bearings and seals.

change your fuel filter... take a sample of your gas make sure there is no water in that either...

Gee oh Dee

This.
