I don't think it pulls water up, the exaust valves would open, but it would only push stuff out....not to mention, it would have to go through the muffler, cat, and UP the headers to get into the block.

 

If you havent recovered it yet and its going to rain get a recovery strap or chain and hook up to a tree or anything solid to keep the runner from going downstream.

 

ok i just wheeled with people and seen some get stuck and they freak out when someone turnes the truck off with the tip under water. maybe just cause it wont start back up.

 

Any updates from our water logged friend? Is it still in the creek?? Did it rain? Did the runner dissapear? Is it out? does it work? whats the deal?? Hook up up with the update dmatter!!

 

i just looked at his sig.....$$$$$$$$$ mistake!!!!! i would have slept there at least!!!

 

I have to Run 2 More Service Calls. I do Heating and Cooling and it is Hotter Then Heck Hear in Columbus I have'nt Had A Chance to Get Back Down to the Creek To See What is Going On. I will Take Digital Pictures But, This Website Always Says they Are Too DEEP I mean Big.

 

columbus where? Ga? or Ohio? or one of the other million columbus'es?

 

yup. If it's just halfway or partially under it usually will still start up...not easy though. I've been there several times.

 

you can upload them onto your computer, then host them on photobucket then link the photos to the website using the [img] tag.
hope you get it out all in one piece.

 

This is why you don't wheel alone dumbass. I hate to sound mean, but you almost deserve to lose your truck to the raging waters. OK - enough of that, I'm sure you understand your mistake now.

The only thing you can do to save the truck is get it out and follow the advice above (pull the plugs, use the starter to expel any water, etc). I would add to spray some WD40 into the cylinders before reinstalling the plugs to help displace the water (WD40 means "water displacement formula 40"). After being in that much water for that long, you must change ALL the fluids before moving it any further than on the trailer. I mean ALL - engine oil, coolant, PS fluid, brake fluid, ATF, transfer case, diffs, repack all the bearings... If possible blow everything dry with a leaf blower before trying to start it. Even if you do all this, you're likely going to have tons of problems with the truck now - from the above mentioned tranny problems, to all kinds of electrical problems.

Get over to www.ohttora.org, get signed up, and meet people to wheel with so you don't get into stupid situations like this

 

report the damn thing stolen!!!

 

Truck Starts and Runs on Starting Fluid. Take Away Starting Fluid and the Engine Stalls Immediately. Tons of Fuel Pressure at the Rails But, I Don't Think the Fuel Injectors Are Working. I Will Replace the Computer and See What Happens.

this may be too easy to be it , but did you check the fuses? like the efi and all those.

 

Yes I did Check the Fuses. Atleast the ones in the Kick panel and the ones I Could "Visually Check" at the Diagnosis Block. I was Thinking Fuses also. It just is'nt Getting Fuel. Runs on Starting Spray But, When you take it away it Dies.............
