SO last weekend my breathers all got ripped off and both diffs, Trany and T-case filled with water. And seeing as I didnt know it happend my rear diff is now at reast (R.I.P.)
I have drained the milkshake out of the rest. Now I am going to hope there is no major damage in the rest of the drive train (FINGERS CROSSED)
The Question I have is should I flush them all out with something???
If so what have you tryed before???
I was just going to get some cheap gear oil and run it for a few days then drain it out.
Or do you just fill it up and go on with your day?
I normaly run Castrol 80W-90 as I get it cheap.
Any past expierance would be a help.

kero is a lubricant as well so should be ok
