My Truck should be running by then.
Its a stock 95 Explorer limited, So long as there isnt any watercrossing/big mud holes im down. The stock air intake location is in the bottom of the bumper.... As i found out after i hydro locked my engine last week.

I hydro locked my blazer 3 times in 2 days. It just takes a bit of cycling then it fires up and burns off the water

You're lucky. The last thing you should be doing to a hydrolocked engine is trying to start it.

i would be moving that. because there are a few water crossings.

Oops. Double post :/

Well. Im pretty sure my engine is seized...

I had to get it towed home, and then i pulled my Plugs and it wouldnt turn over.

i pulled out my fan + rad and put a socket on my Main drive pulley(one off my crank) and couldnt get it to turn period.
(The starter was also heating up as i tried to start it)

One of my dads friends was telling me he had it happen to him a couple times and to put ATF fluid in through my Plug holes and let it sit + pull off the access hole for the torque converter bolts and check for mud.

anything else you guys could think of?

Mines been screwed 4 times now, I just give it some time and then fire it up

[sgt_hawk]

Its been over a week since i did it?

[master hec0]

lol that's defiantly some time.


i keep seeing marvel mystery oil come up. for unseizing engines.

also saw pb blaster as another. i would try pb since i have never seen marvel mystery oil in stores.

MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) is the shit. When I owned an rotary powered car (well, many rotary powered cars) I bought it in cases.

[sgt_hawk]

Lmao Yeah just a little.

I just read that too about marvel, Pb works too? I have a can of that sitting in my truck so ill give it a good spray tomorrow.

Im hoping its just because it had water sitting in it for awhile before i could clear it out.
My other option right now is drop the oil pan and see if any rods are bent. Thats what i hear the worst damage that can happen is?

A snorkel would be a good idea probably but i dont want to go punching a hole through the side of a fender seeing as i want to sell the thing right now. I want to get myself a Cherokee and throw a 4.5inch Rough country lift and 33's on it haha :p

I only have Sept 3-5 off coming up. Other then that the 12-23 is open for me but I may be leaving country for that if I can.

Yep, snorkles are good... I tempted fate and luckily all I got was a soggy air filter. I won't be doing that again, my snorkle is on order today.

I've replaced enough MAS airflow sensors to buy everyone here a snorkel. Hahahaha.

Water never made it to the engine though.

[sgt_hawk]

Thats all i have ever heard about them, Im actually really excited to be planning on getting one as essentially my first car haha. The explorer was given to me from my dad who bought it new. (Im only 16 and been driving for under a month haha)

Im hoping the same.
