Well after the big long tire saga of puttin' on new shoes for the war wagon, I'ma now lookin' for a 6.5L turbo. Silly hydrolockin'...

Ironhorse's deuce to the rescue again!

Dang, who put a lake in the middle of the field????

 

[nk14zp]

Well that sucks.

 

[Recovry4x4]

That's going to leave a wet spot!

 

[Chow717]

bummer.. did you catch anything while you were there?

Maybe you should get one of these instead ?

That would be the hard way to test if your radiator leaks.

What speed was indicated when you hit that puddle? Maybe you should look into one of Mike's snorkles.

+1 you could have snorkled it for cheap and saved alot of headache and $$$

Drain the fluids, leave everything open, put a milkhouse heater under the hood for 24hr, fill everthing back up (with oil, not water again) then drive it. Unless you hydroed the engine at high rpm...

Then change the fluids two more times. Did this with a buddies dodge 3500 and he's sill drivig it 4 yrs later

You need really big tires to make it float!

Vacuumed out the intake, pulled the glow plugs (out poured a gallon of water) and bumped the starter about six times blowin' out less and less water. Seventh bump no crank so I'ma pull the intake and heads next, but not really upset as I want the 6.5L turbo.

Coulda stayed out of the pond, but just havin' fun before I deploy here in two weeks.

All I can say is, it's a good thing that he knows some really nice guy with a winch equipped deuce.

Deeper than it looked????? You sunk it pretty darned well.

That would be the hard way to test if your radiator leaks.

I actually handled an insurance claim where the ijut said he pulled his car into the lake (via the boat ramp) to cool the radiator off and then couldn't explain why it sank.

[motormayhem]
