you can actually spray it out with a hose and then wipe it all down really good. you'll wanna make sure all the water and everything is dried up before you refill it, but as long as you clean it very well you shouldnt need to do another early change.
all i gotta say is DAYGUM SON! thats not pretty. i was absolutely certain you'd have SOME water in there, but didnt know it would be even close to as bad as that picture. You must've been playin around in the water for a while. Then again, these diffs aint exactly water tight lol

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but i figured this was related.
I am creeping up on diff/trans fluid swap time here pretty soon and wondered if anyone is running PML or Mag-Hytec diff cover(s) and or trans pans? on a related note, i was looking on Moe's website and they have several different options for sizes. I have found that I would need a 9.25" cover in the rear (i have a 2007 1500 IFS) but what is needed in the front? I am seeing 8.25" for the PML but nothing for the Mag-Hytec, is that the correct size?
For the trans pans both Mag-hytec and PML have 2 different ones both listed for the 545RFE, a "regular" and "deep". will a "deep" pan fit with a stock exhaust (i have a magnaflow cat-back after the first resonator).
thanks,

My thoughts are, that it is ruined without stripping it down for a through cleaning including replacing bearings and seals. How long do you think you have before the electrical problems start appearing? I hope this is not your DD. Save the pictures as I think it'll turn into a very expensive photo shoot. Good luck...
