I guess I can take back the front suspension

 

Yes mud in intake shut her down

Did I say woot? I meant shoot

See above

Yea went a little to quick and made it through fine but the big wave of mud I made came up over the hood and she shut down right when I got out of it. Luckily there was a mechanic with us and he had a shit load of tools so we pulled the airbox and cleaned it, also pulled all the spark plugs and cranked it, shitload of water flew out. Got it back up and running, battery light was on though. Went and got an air filter from advance auto and drove home down 75. Made it about 2/3 of the way home and lost elctronics and then power. Probably the alternator. Luckily I was 5 miles from the Wesley Chapel toyota dealership so my buddy drove up and we towed it there. They'll look at it in the morning. No shocks in the rear so I wonder what they will say about that

 

Can I have the clock spring and charcoal canister? Lol

 

Did you have an extended warranty? Kiss that bitch bye bye

 

See above

 

What is the charcoal canister? I saw you talking about it the other day. Guess I haven't had to mess with it so don't know what it is.

 

This isn't the first time it has been hydrolocked

 

By da gas tank

 

Haha no rear shocks. They going to think you cra cra

 

Yea motor is fine, hope its just the alternator

Ya it's by the gas tank and has to do with emission stuff. I keep throwing 5 EVAP codes and Jason told me, along with other threads I read, that the exact same 5 codes does something with the charcoal canister

 

Sounds good, you still got my address roight?

 

Lol get you one

I will be eventually.

 

That won't save you homie

 

Ah shit happens. It's a chance we take wheeling these trucks since the intake is so dang low in the fender well. I don't think they will look at the rear for a alternator.

 

You do realize you did not "hydrolock" your motor. The word lock is in it for a reason. Means you put so much water, and since it can not compress, it damaged the motor to the point it locked it up. Don't get me wrong, you damn near did with all the water coming out of the cylinders, but now all you are dealing with is a shorted alternator due to crappy location from the factory. Which is much, much better than a hydrolocked motor.

 

They don't have to look at the rear. They will see all the stuff in the engine bay, then look at the rest of the truck. That will be the issue. Then they will likely make him pay for it because it is not a defect that caused the damage but water/mud that did.

 

Charcoal canister takes and cleans all the excess exhaust fumes before releasing them back into the atmosphere. Or when there's too much, the purge valve sucks those fumes back to the engine to be burned.

 

i'll hope for the best for you today frank, hopefully it's just the alternator
