Lubrication after water crossing

[3rdgengrog]

So, we've had some rain recently and some minor flooding which ment driving through some flood waters. That being said, should I be regreasing/lubricating any of the drivetrain, suspension, pulleys, or any other bits?

Thanks for the help.

If you're greasing everything with every oil change like you should be, you have nothing to worry about. If you were in water deep enough to submerge your axles, it would be wise to check the condition of the gear oil.

Axles were submerged, thanks for the info. Now I know next weekends project.

In major flooding in 2011 I drove through water deep enough my rear tires were spinning at times on my 94 Ram with the Cummins.

I pulled the fill plugs on everything and put my finger in to see if any of them were emulsified. Just clean clear oil in the axles and transfer case. Trans I pulled out the dip stick.
