Will the stock 2019 PW Differential Breather valves allow water entry when submerged?
The reason I ask is how short the stocks ones extend above the pumpkin.

Maybe the least of my concerns when doing a water crossing up to the headlights.... :)

I extended mine up behind the drivers side tail light.
Front one extended up above the brake booster.

my understanding is they will not suck water in as they have a gortex membrane which prevents water from being sucked in but can still vent out. I think it works as I have had mine submerged and no water has gotten in.

Check the transfer case breather also. The transmission breather I think is already up in the engine compartment.

I put in new hoses from the diffs up as high as possible, but my front one keeps getting ripped off and did end up with water in the diff. My experience is the articulation will rip them out so you have to make the stock hoses longer and make sure they have room to flex
