I need help finding out if I hydrolocked my engine.

[TAG27]

so i was driving through a creek that was a little to deep and i sucked water up through the intake i got the front end out of the water when it died and got it towed home. the motor hasent cranked over once sence it died in the water. all it does when i try to start it is click. so should i do what i read and take all the spark plugs out and drain the oil and try to get a wrench and turn it by hand or what any suggestions im trying to do it fast before the water seizes the motor.

Yes, pull the plugs and turn the motor over. Check and replace plugs if necessary. Also pull the air filter and if is damaged replace it. Check the entire intake for pooled water and mud. Change the engine oil. Check and replace the differential, transmission and transfer case fluids if they are contaminated.

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the stock 95-01 section.

Well if you were able to drive it after you sucked in the water, I would assume you could be okay. Of course I don't know how much time it took you to get out of the water. Time to investigate.
