On my 98, the front differential has a vent hose that exits by the left side
of the radiator. This is a few inches higher than the distributor. The rear
vents into the frame, so if you're in water at least frame high, I'd change
the rear fluid.

    Lately it has been raining everyday here in New Orleans. Just yesterday
it poured and the roads were turned into rivers at the college I go to (UNO
if anybody has ever been there the place is horrible for drainage). Anyway
I was humming along in my Dak plow through the water and then it got really
deep and I was going alittle to fast and water splashed all under the hood
and my truck stalled. I dried out the distributor and it started back up.
I was wondering if there is anything I should be worried about. I remember
hearing poeple talking about having to change out the diff oil and other
stuff when they go off roading and get submered in water. So what should I
check or do to insure I didnt hurt my truck. Boy it sure is great to have a
truck with a 318 all those little Tercels and Hondas were out of luck.
