yea Mike when i fell in that tank trap about a year ago, i had to drive it home, but at the cost of the motor, when i pulled the head i had burnt mud on the top of the pistons

but then came the HYBRID20/22
and i found some SERIOUS ponies

I did change the oil in the engine before i went home so that is the only reason i did drive it and i had fluid to do the tranny, t-case ect.. but i had no 24mm with me. I'm just hoping nothing is dead

mudaddict,

to the marBB just a hint dont follow mike at water crossings, oooops did i say that mike i wont say it , i know the Searchand rescue guys said enough,

Mike D · « **Reply #64 on:** Dec 12, 2004, 05:54:22 PM »

i did smack my self and he didn't follow he went around to the upper crossing to try and pull me out

dang sounds like a good buddy, i always say i never call my bestfriend to get me out of jail or another bind i might be in cause hes there with me

unless its a auto it will be ok assuming you didnt drive on the freeway for a hour or something, just flush with some atf, both diffs and tranny/tcase then refill with 30wt run around town a few times then new 90wt your shure to have all the water out then

but you both should change your oil again after driving a few days

Mike D · « **Reply #66 on:** Dec 12, 2004, 06:01:40 PM »

Ya, judging by where the level on your dipstick sat, I am sure there was a little water. But, there should be zero damage..

I was going to ask how it felt when I had to let off on the winch to re-position, and you started to float down stream

mudaddict · « **Reply #80 on:** Dec 12, 2004, 07:20:55 PM »

HAHA ya it was a little scary i could just feel my self slip a little at a time. I jsut didnt like the feeling of slipping back wards if the winch was still on i would ahve been cook but with no winch it was a lil scary.

Mike D · « **Reply #81 on:** Dec 12, 2004, 07:26:21 PM »

mudaddict do you know what we both need to buy. check out this winch http://4wheelparts.com/4wp/products/productLine.asp?cat=WIN&prodline=3490&catName=Winches&man=MILE

proboly should pay that little fine first

. otherwise that would be a smart move. but u would've still had to get out of your truck

mudaddict · « **Reply #83 on:** Dec 12, 2004, 07:39:46 PM »

ya that could ahve been help full for me i could ahve pulled my self out to the other side and been able to come get u and get u out and atleast to dry land. ya im gonna invest in one in the next couple months while im grounded from being up their until winter is over with.

Mike D · « **Reply #84 on:** Dec 12, 2004, 07:47:15 PM »

my parents didn't even care cause i learned a big enough lesson. and I talked to a few people today and they said the cop was just trying to scare me and it is manditory for the cops to give a court date when ever there is a water crossing involved I hope they were right.

Mike D · « **Reply #85 on:** Dec 12, 2004, 07:49:04 PM »

mudaddict did tou even get a ticket

mudaddict · « **Reply #86 on:** Dec 12, 2004, 07:50:57 PM »
