I changed my front diff fluid 3 days ago because I just noticed it was milky. I have went wheeling once since then and I got stuck, I didnt go through anything but snow but I got stuck, all I could smell was diff fluid while I was spinning. Someone told me it could have just been bubbling out of the breather. I checked my front and it looks like a milkshake again! I didnt go through any water and the rear diff looks fine. Someone on here has to acctually go wheeling in their lifted truck besides me. how do I stop the water from entering my front diff?! Before it ruins something please help me!

 

really?

 

Check to make sure of breather on axle is ok. Add long hose to raise entry point of fresh air /H2O. I know you aren't filling it too full. Have you had a lot of damp weather for the last 30 days?

thats just it the breather is way up in the fender and it has been raining/snowing but i havent been bogging through mud or water

 

Did you mean inside the fender ? Inside the fender liner, In the engine compartment? Anything having to do with the fender would be exposed to gazillion gallons of water.

 

The vent is supposed to follow the vacuum lines from the diff up to the firewall on the passenger side...

 

I'll add that if you're dealing with snow you're dealing with cold temps...

Is your vent clear to breath? If not, condensation will appear through temperature cycles...

Make sure the vent is not clogged

 

ill have to check the vent itself. butt is there a way to delete the factory plastic thing on the diff? it seems poorly designed

 

That is to protect the acuator. I deleted it by swapping in a A4WD Expedition front housing.

 

With the lift added maybe the hose is torn.
