Things to check after mudding
I've been muddin' (it just doesn't sound right with the g on it) countless times and this weekend I am going to be changing the oil and rotating the tires and I was wondering, while I'm out there with my tools and such, what are some trouble spots that you guys have found after mudding (i.e., certain seals that are prone to leakage or dirt, places where mud/dirt can build up and cause problems), basically anywhere that should be checked regularly after mudding.
Thanks guys,
Fink

Some guys like to leave the mud on there for a good week to show off like I do. But I do like to clean up certain areas.
CLEAN:
The mud off the oil pan, a cool engines a happy one
The mud off of the head lamps, turn signals, brakes, and such to stay legal
The mud off the inside of the wheels to keep yourself in balance
The mud off the important windows so your legal
CHECK:
Seals
Rotors for trapped globs of mud that will dry into a good grinding tool
air filter for cleanliness
diffs for water that may have gotten in
Thats all I have for now.

Put the sprinkler under the rig for an hour or two and go inside and watch tv.
Come back out and the mud will be gone...off your truck.
Then you wash off the driveway so the mom, wife doesn't kill you dead.

I went to the pool yesterday and the park today... 75 here too...
Thats a good idea about the sprinkler though... I need to clean my engine bay too... for that there is "automotive" simple green. Seems to work pretty well...
