oops

damn

yea, the motor needed a rebuild anyway. just didnt think this was going to be the way it happened.

Little more, Full story please...Were you DWHIA?

Hate it when that happens

So, how did it happen?

i dont think i was but i dont understand the question

tried to use a construction zone to turn around in.

Sorry to break it to ya...but I think that is gonna be a bit more than an engine rebuild...

That sucks!!! DWHIA = Driving With Head In Azz Its hard to drive looking out your belly button, espically when its raining.

what all do you think is going to be wrong?

The wire connections will corrode and loose contact. It sucks but youll need to unplug and clean any wire connectors that got wet.

dwhua. i dont think so. i turned into the construction zone to turn around but i started to sink in the mud so i didnt want to stop. kept making foward progress and then turned to get back on the road as soon as i could. little did i know when i turned this was going to be the end result.

DWTIW Driving with toes in water. Either way it still sucks.

looks like the cab is drowned too. Trans may need to at least be serviced. Kind of depends on how tight everything was and how long it is in the soup...

Hopefully insurance will help...but then you might be on record as the vehicle being flooded...

all i got is liability. dont think insurance will help much.

We've hydro locked motors before also...trick is to dry it out as much as possible before trying to restart it. Suck all water out the cylinders, drain oils, drop pan, clean all watery gunk you see. Pour in a good oil and filter and replace spark plugs. Pray it starts, let it run a bit and change oil again. Granted, the life of your engine is now in question, but sometimes you can get away with it once

pulling the motor out to rebuild it on the cheap. if i can then its time to turn this truck.

That's no fun...

porkysnightmare has some good points on trying to save things. I would go so far as to do the same to the transmission. Does not look like the rear-end got dunked so you are probably OK there. The big issue with this type of mess is the submersion for a period of time.

its been in since 2 A.m. didnt want it to be stuck so long but i didnt have a choice. called a tow truck but the road got blocked before i could get to it and he couldnt drive around the barricades

crappie crappie crappie...

Mother nature plays a rough game sometimes...

Remove all interior remove all wire connections and prepare to do battle. Don't think of starting it. Might as well drain the tranny and replace filter and most likely rear main since you're already doing the work.

havnt decided if im rebuilding the motor of buying a used one. dont have money for a brand new one so i need a cheap used one.

I would try porkys suggestion first. Will take some time on your part and a full change of oil, but it might save you a grand or two in the long run...
