    you should be fine...unless you submerged the rear diff completely...then i'd change it.

    Is this mod only necessary on the rear diff? Or should it be done on the transmission and front diff as well?

    The union thread as mentioned in a previous post on this thread is 1/8 BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper Thread). Not to be confused with 1/8 NPT (National Pipe Taper Thread).

    I'll be doing this mod very soon as I like to cross shallow rivers occasionally. I just need to know how high the breathers are for the manual transmission and the transfer case. That way I'll know if I need an extension on those ones as well.

    Anybody know where the rest of the breathers are? The rear diff is easy. I want to do this, but I'd like to get them all. :)

    I've got a manual transmission, as that probably make a difference.
