water in my JK
So the local area around me is underwater due to recent storms and while helping people out I was submerged to about the top of the hood, or about there as I was told by spectators. I didn't stop nor depress the clutch, got out of the water and left the jeep on for 30 min. I then drove around a bit threw some seafoam in the gas and filled it with mid grade and ran for a few more min. After I got out of the water I inspected the Airbox, there where a few damp spots but not much. Do I have anything to worry about and what do I need to to to make sure there isn't any damage?
On a side note, IT WAS SO AWESOME!!
PPS, without my teraflex leveling kit my hood would have been submerged and I would have been Fu*ked. thank's teraflex for giving me the extra 2" to help alot of locals!!!!!

Joisey- change your diff fluids as I am sure you submerged your diff breathers being that deep

the sooner the better.. u might want to extend the breathers for future rescues!! the front and rear vents are not much higher than the top of the tire. front is even with top of shock, and rear is just inside frame rail.
also diff oil change will take u no longer than 20 mins!

Yes there are, they are right behind the engine on the firewall. Damned nearest the hardest place to get to to work on them. I have yet to extend mine...
