swervey87gl Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I sunk my car up to the seats. Got it running but the oil pressure is a little high. I believe that water may have some how got into the oil. I will change the oil today. I was wondering if I should change the tranny and the rearend oil aswell. I don't know about venting tubes or other ways water may have goten in anywhere else. Any advise from experience??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archemitis Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 or run it, and it will get hot, and the water will evaporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85Sub4WD Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 or run it, and it will get hot, and the water will evaporate. Bad idea - if there are any contaminates in the water (which there are), it will cause seizure/scoring of the internal components in everyting - the steam can also murder components - seen that happen change all fluids, and hope nothing is damaged BTW - did you suck any into your intake - possible BIG problems there - especially if you drowned your engine - possible water hammer damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 or run it, and it will get hot, and the water will evaporate. And condense on the sides of the transmission case, and return to the oil. Change it. Water is a crappy lubricant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swervey87gl Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 It was a little sluggish on the way home from where it happened. I couldn't leave it there or some bum would have *************** in the thing. But it was only about 2 mi. I drove it easy. Changed the air filter,engine and tranny oil. The diff will be changed tomorrow. And the interior is all cleaned and will be dry tomorrow morning. There was about 5 lbs of mud in my carpet. The empty beer can floating in the back seat floor was quite a site this morning. But once all the fluids were changed I took it for a little test drive. I would say the cup of bolts and screws that flew all the way to the back, from the dash, says that its running fine. I think it will be fine if not woopie another couple hundo for a used motor.
