i was dying laughing when i saw the pic of you standing in your jeep in the water...sorry about the laughing part

i was in the same exact position on saturday, stuck in a hole, didnt hydrolock though lucky i guess...

the same exact pic, just me in your place, no joke, thought it was for a minute...hahaha

sorry bout that bro..good luck

 

I can honestly say I know how you feel..Good luck with the dealer..

 

sorry to hear that but I guess speed was the killer

 

How fast were you going????

 

With all these stories, and no money in my wallet... Water is very scary.



If I had a few grand to my name... Water would seem like a great excuse for a hemi upgrade...


Sorry to hear about the hydrolocked engine. Find a new 6 cylinder, and try and take your block to the scrap yard for some $$$

 

You could probably get a new 3.8 from Burnsville offroad cheap. As many Hemi's as they are doing, he probably has them stacked up. Sucks about your jeep though. If they total it, can I have your trans case? JK.

 

Is the only option replacing the engine or can something else be done?

 

I am gonna take a guess and say that if you had not hit the water at 40mph, this thread would be a great story and great pics.

That water looks very crossable but not at mach speed.

Good luck.

Keep us posted as to what happens.

 

There was a post on here somewhere talking about the guy (burnsville offroad?) that is doing Hemi swaps and has alot of brand new used jk motors. I'd contact him for a used one.

 

That's a good point. Hydrolocking the engine doesn't mean the end of the engine. I know from first hand experience with an old pickup.
