Well, not literelly...but i submerged my truck in about 4 foot of water, it actually got in the cab and everything. I know I should change ALL the fluids now, but can any of you fine ladies or gents recommend anything else to look for or replace? Haha...make me remember my first post on this site when I sunk my 400, I guess I have problems being around deep water.:confused:

well make sure u clean everything out real good with a power washer..... try to get everything to dry and make sure u check your brakes and cables and such.... in the interior.. id shampoo it really well and clean it up or it will get all rotted.... u might have to take the carpet out of the truck and make sure it dries underneath it also..... maybe jack the truck up and make sure there isnt any damage underneath..... but defintely watch the brakes.. get them cleaned and make sure they are in good working order

dont forget the differentials and power steering pump(if it got that high) when doing the fluids. what year and make was it. if it was newer you may have some trouble with the electrical connecters. if so go to auto zone and get an arisol can of electrical connector cleaner water displacer and get to work.


P.S. i want to see a bikini shot.:devil:

I suggest replacing the tires..........If you riding on 44's and a lift you wouldn't even have noticed it;)

You really should check all the wiring and such.
