Don't the differentials have extensions on the vent tubes? I thought I saw some when I was under my truck the last time. I figure you can drive in deep water all the way up to the door sills, unless there is some other way water can get in the differentials.

Yep. Although it's not too bad during the day - the business district has really cleaned up the area.
I wouldn't go to the mall or go outside at night, however, unless you want to find out why it's called Gunspoint!

One simple question: How do I go about checking my diff? I looked under my X the other day and I couldn't see how I would check much less for drain the fluid. 
How and better yet, what do I do? Thanks.

If you have to drain the differential, you'll have to remove the cover.
Why not go ahead and put an aftermarket differential cover on whil you're at it?
PML makes nice covers and are affordable. They hold about .8 qt of more fluid, plus they have a bottom drain plug and an accessible top fill plug.
Never have to pull the cover again to change or check fluid, plus you run a cooler differential.
I just installed mine 2 weeks ago. Sweet.

Yes, good quality aftermarket covers are constructed of cast aluminum with the fins. Finish is aluminum or powder coated with brushed fins.

By the way, does anyone know how deep a F250 4x4 can get safely - assuming still water?

I had to pull up my plastic doorsills afterward and shopvac out the water that was in the body channels and leave them off so the edge of the carpet could dry (got wet about 1" up) but that was it.
