1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Ooof

I remember the other guys on here talking about getting hit with some bad storms out there; that's nuts

 

It was literally 1 gust of wind. Blew my weber genesis over, all my wind chimes hit the ground and the gold standard got pounded by a tree branch. Neighbor informed me of the air shed.

 

Ours is a 2010 RR HSE.

I can't fucking believe eddie bauer was double dipping ford and rover!!!! diabolical!

 

I mean Ford owned them for a while anyway. Think they're owned by Tata now. Finest Indian cars this side of the Mississippi river.

 

Well, ford owns rover now (or tata ???) I thought but eb was like late 90's. ehh, whatever, Rover just a starter car anyway. Even @m3bassman knows that.

 

Good first car for your daughter

 

Yeah, i mean, the kia sportage gives it a run though. The c-10 can only hold like 2 boys though. Maybe a single cab is where its at. Less delinquents can fit in it.

 

We've got to work tomorrow. Booooooo


But Sunday we've got a Disturbed concert. Breaking Benjamin and Ginger will also be playing

 

If it starts.

 

hahahah....Rovers have an advantage over every single vehicle on the planet..... They are worth more crashed.

 

For sure. They can't hurt you any more that way.

 

Na. It's a classic "Lose, Win" situation.

 

Hey guys, I was driving through a small pond today and completely stalled out my engine. 1/3 of my air box had water and mud in it. it wasn't able to start by itself but after roughly an hour it was able to start when hooked up to another truck. The engine wanted to go by itself but it couldn't.
I drove it 10 miles home on a dirt road with no filter in as mine was quite wet. literally went 1o miles to entire way as I wasn't trying to kick up dust

I'm planning on doing an oil change + new filter tomorrow to hopefully get some of the dust and water out that it probably took in. It runs quiet and doesn't have an engine light.

Do you guys suggest I do anything else to decrease the chances of an engine rebuild?

 

Oof...second it died, you shouldn't have tried to start it up.

I would've pulled plugs and assess from there.

My bets are you're

 

Maybe try starting a thread though?...this is kind of a go-fast thread where things get skipped and we don't go back to them.

 

it seems to run well, it's turned on a few times since then

 

Maybe you didn't get anything in the engine, best bet.

MAF sensor get wet? Wonder how far up water went into your intake.

 

Maf sensor definitely got a little bit of water on it, I pulled tubing right at the throttle body and there was a few drops of water nothing close to what the air box had. Engine warm at this point so it evaporated pretty quickly.

would you leave it at an oil change or do more to it?
