Off-Roading and Got Stuck

I would change just to be on the safe side.

+1 grit is hard on seals and things with tight tolerances

If you find yourself around water often I would extend every breather you can get access to. The Yota guys used to run the rear breather inside the fuel filler door. Not a bad idea...

Thats a pretty good idea Cine

If you can, drain it yourself. I already checked and it's $250 per axle here.
If the fluid looks like green duckshit, you took on water.

And good advice about extending the tubes. My Bronco'e all had them run up into the body as I used to swim a lot.

You got that right! green "foamy" duck shit is a sign of water..

Yeah well I haven't dumped mine, so I don't know what the color would be on new trucks.

Not that I've had my Raptor underwater too much...

Most looks like nasty chocolate milk when water is present.

I thought the manual shows that water can go pretty much even with the crease down the side of the trucks.

I'm told these guys were under the same impression but, Ford's documentation says they've drivien the Raptor through up to 30 inches of water under "controlled conditions" which might as well be a bathtub. Actual creeks and rivers don't count.
