Hey fuzzytoaster, thanks for the info. All the fluids have been drained. Now, should I try and hand turn the engine BEFORE adding in any engine oil? Also, how do you hand crank these engines? Same as a car? Thanks in advance!
So I just drained the transmission in both places, and about a quart or less of water came out of the transmission "box" or pan, and the other drain was all good, although I drained all 10 gallons or so out of them. Hopefully that little bit of water won't mess it up too bad. I did get a whole...
Well crap, OK. Will be draining the transmission and engine oil today, fuel is already drained, lines blown out, and 2 new fuel filters... Thanks for your guys help!
Thank you so much, that is a great breakdown of the steps! Finishing draining the fluids today and will start on the electrical. I won't be able to test until Monday when I get the new batteries. Thanks you so much!

Hey Guys, I need some big time help here... my 1999 M1078 LMTV project truck was parked and it was submerged in about 5ft of river water for about 24hrs (I was out of the State at the time) during Hurricane Helene. As we know, it doesn't say much about flooding in the TMs as to what to do in...
