You're lucky if you didn't suck water up into the Engine.

If you ever hydroloc one, you can kiss it good night. If I were you though, I would check anything that resembles a bearing, especially the bearings in the drive shaft.

I would double check my brakes.

Then I would give her a nice bath.

Not entirely true. A guy at work got water in his 5.2L Dakota. He popped out the spark plugs and turned it over, shot all the water out. He said the exhaust pipe looked like a hose with water running out of it. That was a few years ago, and the truck still runs today.

You just cant let them sit with water in them, pop the plugs immediately.

Right, that is the correct thing to do.

However, people who don't know what they're doing will usually try to get out of the hole, and in the process bend a rod. =/

Thank you for the correction, lol.

Oh yeah, I've also seen the idiots whose engines die, and then they just crank and crank and crank trying to get the damn thing started. It happened to a friend of mine and I yelled at him to stop, but it was luckily only a wet distributor.

alright

I just woke up, I will put the pictures in the gallery. I don't have any of mine but I got stuck again. Not bad this time, just slick mud. Anyway, I have pictures of those jeeps I went with and that was a hell of a ride. As we were climbing a hill, the jeep slowly went on its side, very gracefull. I had to crawl out of it but the thing is, that jeep was loosing gasoline...

I got out pretty quick

Heh, a buddy of mine at work has a 2500 Chevrolet HD, with the LT option package. It's easily a $40,000 truck. He gets drunk a drives it into a creek. The truck has been in the shop for the last 2 months. The last he said, they were waiting on a new head to arrive.

I'll go most anywhere, but I am not a big fan of the water. =/

I'll play in water only if I know how deep it is and if it's solid underneath, like at the storage place where I keep my boat. I can still be on the gravel and in 6 - 8" of water from the pond that fills up and overflows.

Valuable information here but with our problems pulling the plugs on the new 5.4's, it's going to be a crapshoot if you have to do so. Here is a video of a waterhole I went through, I think it's safe to say I was one of the newest vehicles to have ran that hole, there were several trucks that did not make it accross.

Pulled the plug ont eh front diff this weekend, came out a nice grey. Another couple of inches and I would have been in big trouble with water in the engine. I no longer like water.

There are a few trails up there that are marked for trucks that it was tight getting my 4 wheeler through, and more than one that had a deep hole in the middle of it that tried to eat the 4 wheelers, (luckally not too big though).

Anyone know some trails in MN without 4 foot water holes?
