    The water wasnt deep enough to hit the fan? And what is it hooked up too in the back, it looks like the tow chain loop if so thats a good way to cause an accident.

    Daphne Trails actually. Although Eglin would've been equally likely.

    Some insurance companies exclude damage from off-highway activities.

    Good luck with it. About the only thing that I could help out with is a scan gauge if no one close to ya has a scanner.

    I've had mine paid off nearly 4 yr now. Instead of dropping coverage I went with higher deductibles. Still limits my exposure, while not paying high premiums.
    Hope everything works out for the op.

    Have you tried putting your truck in a bag of rice? I've heard that it helps.








    Sorry, I had to! :D. Best of luck to you with your repairs! :thumbsup:

    Chris, to play it safe, before you plug in the new ECU, I would just double check the power and grounds to the ECU. You don't want to short out or fry a new ECU on install!

    Step 1: obtain wiring diagram

    Step 2: obtain multimeter

    Step 3: check power and ground wires to ECU at connector.

    You need to find someone that knows what they're doing. You sound like me, like you don't know shit about electrical. This is when I pick up the phone and call a buddy
