Lol yea.... Well hopefully it's all covered under my warranty (certified and lifetime) cause the lil money I had, I had to pay $74 to re-register and get new tags..... I lost a tag back on the trail somewhere and couldn't find it

Unfortunately most front axles do a good job keeping fluid in, but not such a good job keeping water out. .

Is this true we go threw a lot of water when wheeling and I haven't checked mine yet.

JFYI for the future, I used to get water in my CJ diffs all the time. I'd drain them and fill them with diesel and run around the block, then drain and add fresh gear oil. I had plugs in the covers on my CJ, so it was easier than pulling the cover everytime I hit deep water which was a few times a month.
Although since yours was submerged for a long time, pulling the covers, cleaning and flushing is the best course.

I have plugs in my d44, I flushed the crap outta it today, then filled it up, I'm gonna run this week and I have a trail ride this weekend then I'll try what u said.... Just straight diesel fuel? Once around the block then change to fresh gear oil?
