    Try 4 low with the locker on, make sure to use some momentum if you can't get through it. Turn locker off as soon as you get out

    I'm out, this happened yesterday sorry for the confusion.

    I crawled underneath and there was water/mud on the diff breather. I'll assume it was submerged for about 20 mins.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Most recently was in January and it was hitting the cab. And this was driving around downtown Houston thanks to the flooding.

    Get diff breather mod done as soon as you can, hopefully the seal held as it's still new. Not sure how to check if you got water in diff

    Ok, I'll change the rear diff. Should I be concerned about other components as well? (T-case, Manual trans, E-locker)

    Anyone know the socket size by chance as well? Biggest I have is a 21.

    Thank you guys

    I think it's much smaller than a 21 if I'm remembering correctly.
