RE: water infiltration in differentials
we get flash floods quite a bit, esp since we're just at the bottom of the hill country.. I usually throw in 10 40# bags of top soil in the bed to give it some more weight, have had it slip on me due to current, and when you go over, youre dead, all the time on the news you hear bout people getting killed in highwater crossings.. or a body will turn up a few days later... always keep it in 4 wheel so if that rear starts skipping your fronts will still have tracktion...
closer to 140, i buy amsoil
even if it were just 40 for me i would want to dick with replacing it every week for 2 months out of the year and then periodically throughout the rest of the year....

RE: water infiltration in differentials
its a heavier truck as well.
If by tornado you're referring to that tube they sell that connects your air box to your plenum theyre a waste of money.
Hope the pics help you out in not changing the diff fluid every time. I used to check my quite a bit when I first bought my truck new but saw there were no issues.

Ramit looking at that I don't think you would need to replace it. those pics it looks high water but it isn't like the differentials are being completely submerged under the water. From the OP's statements he was talking about his dad having his truck with water halfway into the cab which would definately mean you need to change the fluid.

RE: water infiltration in differentials
Thanks guys . I 'll make sure the breathers are high enough
Thanks RamItOne for the Link
I was just kidding . Yes I think the heavy weight of this truck and low gear ratio (manual) are responsible for the gas consumption .
When going forward , it's ok . When you're stuck for a moment , seems likeit's something else .
Next time I pull him out , it's gonna cost him a picture. lol [sm=lol.gif]
