Ths looked alot smaller from the outside!!

So we see this puddle. We threw a rock into it to check the depth, and it didn't look very deep, so we get a good running start and go for it.
The best that I can figure out, is that when we hit the water it was so deep that it stopped us which caused us to stall.

There was about 7-9 inches of water on the INSIDE!!!

This water was freezing!!!

So the moral of the story is: always check the depth of the water BEFORE you go through it with a big stick or something(no matter how small it looks from the outside.

my wife is pissed :fire:

did you drive it out, sucking up water through the stock intake causes it to stall!

 

[slapthefunkyfou]

I did not drive it out. I had to be pulled out. Around here we never any puddles this big. We just had a good rainstorm. And so, I tried to start it while i was in the water. That was the mistake.

I'm going to start a thread in the 911 section and see if anyone has suggestions or if I should just give up with this one.

That sucks. /Me thinks you will have many-a-problem with it.

I have seen engines that would not start because the air filter was wet.
Then you need to see if there is any evidence of water in the cylinders or oil since you cannot compress a liquid. I have seen heads lifted, injectors unseated, bent con rods, collapsed pistons and broken crank shafts occur to engines under stress of hydraulic lock. The truth is that not all the symptoms will necessarily show up during inspection. While in the Coast Guard, it was not unheard of for a “stressed crankshaft” to fail after other repairs had been made. While I hope none of this happens to you please be careful.

Do a search for hydrolocked, you'll find out what you need to know. More than likely your motor is done, if it won't crank or you tried to crank it when the motor was full of water more than likely something got damaged. There is no need to post about this in the 911 forum, if you had time to post this thread, there is no emergency.

nice

You should never go through water faster than a crawl, especially if its that deep.

unless if you have a hovercraft of course

Next time save the interior and just pour a gallon of water into your intake. :thumbdwn: If you don't NEED to drive through deep water, don't bother with it.
