 Subject: Stahled V6 after going through river!!
IP: Logged
Message:
Aloha dudes and duddettes,
Rain SUX in Hawaii now!! My Y2K Dak stahled on me after I went through a deep river of water tonite. I went through it prettty smooth cause right after the puddle i flew on the freeway. When I stopped at a stop light after it started to run funny and later died on me. I tried starting it and it ran for a little while and died. it starts fine until i put into drive. when i gas it my truck died out. i did this for like 5 minutes and stopped. i did again and my truck ran good with no problems.
My question is what should i do to see if there is anything wrong with it since it stahled for a little while. is my engine okay? exhaust? tranny? i have a drop kit with about 3" in front and 5" in the back. I have a V6 w/ all the mods you can think of. any help is appreciated.
Mahalo,
Scotty

If it's running fine now and not throwing codes I think it should be fine. I would still check your electrical system (ie pull the cap and take a look) to see if water managed to get in there. I'd also check your fluids as well for water seepage. Is yours an auto or 5 spd? I've heard about water getting into the tranny through a vent tube on top of the transmission on some cars (not on daks in particular). Probably wouldn't cause the stalling, but something to check anyway.

Aloha dudes!
Thanks for the input. i'm checking the fluids tomorrow morning. and INTENSE you got mail!!!
I just got a Carbo Cleaner and Fuel Additive, cleaning my K&N filter or I might buy a new one. Probably regrease everything by the end of the week. Finals are coming up.
Mahalos,
Scotty
