Im stuck need help...

going in about 30 mins to tow it to the top. what should i do if it is?

 

Not freak out. Best thing to do is not turn it on, if its wet its not good but its not horrible things just need to dry especially if your electronics are wet.

 

so just get it up to the garage and just let it sit there you think? try n dry out everything inside?

 

Yes and when you get back let me know how the filter looks, because yes i have done this to my tacoma twice lol.

 

thanks man what about the parking brake? bang on it? throw some hot water on it? what do you suggest

 

if its really giving you trouble get under there and disconect it for now. Theres a few things that could be causing it to stick.

 

thanks a lot man ill have more questions after i get back im sure

 

No problem dont be affraid to ask.

 

I know it was 10* here in Pa last night. Hopefully everything under the hood isn't a frozen cube. My brother in laws car was just submerged in a parking lot during recent rain storms, hooked up a kerosene blower to dry out the inside. Best of luck man!

 

If you hydrolocked it you need to remove the spark plugs and crank the engine a few times to blow any water out of the cylinders. That will at least keep you from destroying your engine. Air and fuel compress, water doesn't. That's a bad thing. Put the plugs back in an try to start it again. If it does, get home (drive it as little as possible) and change both your oil and your rear diff fluid (unless you did the rear diff breather mod). There's probably other steps I can't remember but I know that one is a biggy! Google hydrolock and it will give you other steps I'm forgetting.

 

thank you guys. i will try and remove spark plugs if i can get it up top. I still cannot believe i would make a blunder like this shouldve known where i can and cannot go ecspecially when i've been on this property since i could walk

 

Sorry about the taco, good luck.

Chances of you actually hydrolocking your truck is pretty slim, because it wouldnt even crank if you did.

 

yeah im thinking i sucked it in through the exhaust. that last picture shows how bad i was stuck. going along fine then just sunk. was sitting on bank so hopefully it was able to dry out enough

 

eewww sorry!!! bump for LUNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i pm'd him

 

cool someone told you!!!! i didnt read the whole thing!!! good luck bro...

 

Just a little info for everyone to store in the back of their brain.

If you ever do suspect Hydrolock and remove the plugs, before hitting the starter make sure nobody has their face in the engine bay.

If any water is in it, when that piston comes up it is going to blast it out with enough force to do some serious eye damage

 

sorry to hear about your truck man i think you need to stop wheeling and keep it on the pavment so you wont be needing thos wheels and tires so ill do you a favor take them off your hands
