I understand and have no facts, but a few have said so. If you are going to go through deep water, let the diff cool down. I dont know if it is directed at both diffs.
Something to do with cold water hitting a hot diff. Serius damage can be caused.
What damage , i cant say. I hope some one on the forum can shed some light on this, or it could be a myth.

What happens is that when the diff cools, the air inside "shrinks" and it then "sucks" through the breather. If the breather is under water, it will suck in a lot of water.
Cooling the diff before the crossing will prevent this or at least reduce the amount of water that will enter.

If you ain't livin on the edge, you're taking up too much space!
