Swamped the dodge today on an offroad trip. Water was a little deeper than anticipated. After my truck broke down we decided to leave it but then got stranded when we got stuck and the winch and high lift jack failed. Walked 5km at midnight in 3' of swamp.
Anybody got advice for me? Water was deeper than I thought and the truck started bogging and stalled. Got towed out before starting it. Turns over fine but runs extremely rough. It's not hydro locked. I think my coil is wet. Has a hard time to stay idling and can't even spin my tires. Put it in gear and it just bogs and stalls.

Oh yes. Had water coming through the bottom of the window at one point. Never doing that again. Maybe that's why when I put it in gear it almost automatically stalls.

To Torn: Advice you say a lot more caution, but maybe you onlu get that as your over the hill, GOOD LUCK. My scotch mind would be thinking $2000 transmission donation before driving in the river.
I amazes me what water can find its way into, you never know! I would think, provided you had no gas leaks, that unless the fill cap was below the water line you should be OK. WK gave you some good advice as to a starting place. Hopefully when everything dries out, you'll be cruzin.
