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.

fill it with kero and run run it on a hoist for a bit to clean up the shit and refill it
or dont bother, the small amount left in there after you drain it wont matter

Kero will get into the grease and remove it too, no?

I would say thats so they arent running dry straight up till oil gets flung to em
kero is a lubricant as well so should be ok
