when the water came over the front of the hood i stopped threw it in reverse and the truck just sank. it was all soft sand. i didnt gun it trying to get thru. it just dug itself down.
i have done many water crossings in this truck and i have gotten stuck a handful of time in water crossings, most were being high centered in rutted out water holes.
we pulled it out which took 30 mins because the rescue truck broke a CV during recovery. all the ECU's and fuses were pulled, dried and replaced, it cranks turns over but spark then dies.
the snorkel kept the truck running a little longer if it were without it, the snorkel def has helped me make crossings and get out of being stuck in water holes without taking water into the intake plenum. The problem here was three fold, the only water proofed ECU was the tranny, with water 5 inches from the top of the windshield all of the ECU's would have needed to be water proofed, secondly the fuse boxes would need to be waterproofed, and thirdly the air intake box needs to be sealed tight and breathers extended for everything that holds oil.
even if we got that truck running and i drained and replaced every fluid i dont think it would have survived a 4 hour drive back to NY.
