Sunk to frame rails, now windows dont work

[Ranger7489]

I was doing some mild mudding after my new lift and tires to see how they performed. I love them, but unfortianly i have 2 wheel drive and i tryed to bring it threw a dryed up swamp. (well it looked dry..) about 10 feet in it sinks. Not going anywere, I rock it back an forth for awhile an just dig it in deeper. It was sunk to the frame rails, Luckily the exhaust and intake dident touch the water. I finially got pulled out. But now my windows wont go up or down. Either of them. I checked the fuse and its fine....any suggestions? Also, it was mostly just mud, but do you think i should change my rear diff. fluid? It was submerged for about an hour in mud.

change the tranny and dif fluid! clean all the wire connectors under the truck

however on the window problem maybe a loose wire!

Thanks man. It was well worth it though. Why dont they make sealed rear diffs so mud/water cant get in?

The water/mud gets in though the breather hose i read a while back why thats there but i think its to releave pressure since the fluid isnt flowing like in the engine if it was totally closed up the friction would produce heat which would in turn build pressure... and you know what!

i might be wrong but thats the way i see it

the best way to avoid this is to move/ extend the breather tube higher!

What about adding a pop-off valve that released upon a certain PSI?

like i said im not sure this is the reason that theres a breather hose or not.

If so then it would work but you would have to figure out the hours/minutes it takes to reach x pressure and see what x pressure causes damage!

Also put a 1 way valve on it just in case
