The Anti-Tech
Kind of a question, though I probably know the answer...
We did a lengthy road/offroad trip recently (I won't use the word "overlanding" ... ) and did some water crossings early on in the journey. Is there some point where any water sucked into the differentials get boiled off? Or is it permanently fouled up? Front axle seals are a bit long in the tooth... I rebuilt the rear axle somewhat recently, not too worried about it. I know it's just cheap insurance to replace the oil, but does the water, if there is any, typically vent out the breather over time? Especially with a lengthy road trip.
