I'd say so. Water gets into everything. .

 

hmmm...I thought that everything was sealed up? Gimme an example of "everything"...

 

Well I believe the front end, rear end, transmission all have breathers where it would let water inside.

 

oh snap...lemme check

 

If I scroll thru the pics fast enough I think I can follow the action.


I don't think you have any worrys with the water depth you are in. I have had mine in water up to the bottom of the doors with no contamination.

 

If I'm not mistaken, there is a recommendation in the owner's manual to change the fluids when you submerge the front and rear diffs.

That being said, I think that's probably a bit overkill and have had previous trucks up to the bumpers in water without ever having a fluid problem.

 

You should be fine if you were just splashing around. You have breather tubes that extend up into the engine bay, I can't recall if the rear had one.
