Odd Problem

So for the past week I have been taking my truck to a few shops trying to get an answer to a major vibration prob. At 45+ Mph the whole truck would vibrate very fast and significantly. I thought a U-Joint or diff prob. After having the wheels force tested and the drive train looked over by 3 different shops, no one could figure it out. It finally ended up being the vacuum control for the 4 wheel drive was going out and was engaging the 4 wheel drive repeatedly. They also told me that the front diff had a bunch of water in it. They replaced the vacuum switch and diff fluid. All is good now, but they had no real answer for water being in the front diff. I dont really offroad(some snow) and I put my boat in the water when I can, but anyone have this happen or know how it could have happened? Could the axle seals be damaged or something? I just want to avoid any future probs. The truck only has 35k on it and has been babied. It all seems odd to me.

Did you buy the truck new? Down south water in weird places is a good indicator of a hurricane vehicle.
