- 1998 Ford Explorer 4.0L
Hi, I have recently bought a 1998 Ford Explorer (stop giggling).
I have mainly got it so I don't get stuck in the snow and to sleep inn the back. I not going to do serious off roading, but seeing as rains about 300 days a year here, I will end up driving through flood water. So I was wondering what is the maximum wading depth I can expect to get a way with in my unmodified Explorer? I have heard "To the bottom of the hubs" but my old Corsa was better than that! In the manual it does mention that you may have to change the oil in the diffs and transfer box if they get submerged. I am not going to get inn to extending the breathers and all that as I won't be doing it that often. I am also well aware that water kills cars.
Can anybody help? Thanks.
