They should, unless they have the breathers flex hosed to a high location like tactical military trucks. The water would enter a typical 541KB16 breather mounted to the carrier.

mrsmackpaul Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 No need unless you stopped and it cooled down and then it will suck water in Other wise all should be good on a short swim like this Gotta keep a nice gentle constant speed and should be ok Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55257-r-model-plowing-thru-water-in-aussie/#findComment-412979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayseed Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Remote Diff & gearbox breathers are almost Standard fare in My part of the World.. Whenever I buy a S/H truck if It doesn't have 'em?? It very soon does.. i got a Quote on a New Mack back in the Winter Time, & the salesman & I ticked the Box for the remote breather package, can't remember how much extra I twas though... 2 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55257-r-model-plowing-thru-water-in-aussie/#findComment-413015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickfarms Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We used to add remote breathers on trucks growing up.For trucks that did occasional water crossings we ran the breathers to the top of the firewall You also need to deal with the intake For trucks that worked in the swamp we also set them up to pressurize the transmission, transfer case and axles to 5 psi Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55257-r-model-plowing-thru-water-in-aussie/#findComment-413059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
