does it crank? does it start?
Pull the MAF dry it out, dry the intake, if it does run
put a new air filter in it
that did it
just also had to charge the battery
Where is the air intake on those?
Milky underneath the oil cap doesen't mean you just got water into your engine. How long since your last oil change? Is the sump oil milky?
above the driver wheel well, but the opening faces the side of the hood
coming from the 90s, when everything was blowing their headgaskets, I always assume the milkiness was a death sentence so I panicked.
I had to look up what a JT was.
$65k for a Jeep... i bet those are flying off the shelf! Haha.
they are and I don't know who's paying for them. I got the cheapest diesel I could find and offered 10% less than msrp.
Alternator didnt last 2300 miles?
I took it off, turned it by hand, reinstalled. It is charging at 14v now after letting the vehicle sit disconnected for a night and charging the batteries.
Knee deep and got in your MAF? Either it was deeper than that or you were splashing through trying to look cool. I'm amazed at how many people buy a new jeep and immediately take it into deep water without knowing the ramifications. If you got it that deep, did you get any breather tubes under water for your trans, transfer case or axles?
Definitely went too fast for fear of getting stuck. There was no one around. JTs have breather tubes ran up to the body; jeep cites ~31 inches of "water fording".
damn thats a rough 2300 miles
you should see your mom
Popular as shit since they came out. I don't get it, especially without a two door version and no real towing ability.
Betting they don't know breather locations and for what breathers are. Agreed on new jeepers.
JTs have these nicely placed, but I'll probably run them higher now tbh
my jt has a towing limit of 6500lbs. That's enough for me. I just want to tow a 4k-5k lbs camper with wdh and brake control.
why were the fender liners out?
new fenders installed to clear 37s. New fender liners on the way.
Real hardcore thread guys, thank you.

at the end of the day there’s only a few things to do… change all your fluids and send it. Or go cry to Jeep and get raked over the coals.
Even if someone responded definitively “you got significant about of water in the engine” what would you do?
yeah exactly. I'm just happy there wasn't any water in the oil at all, that really takes care of any uncertainty.
You pulled the oil filter and put it in the freezer, but didn't bother to drain the oil. Then make stupid posts online.
ive never frozen an oil filter in my life.
if the maf got wet enough to keep it from running..... you have bent rods / and a cracked piston or two. Hopefully you will get lucky and someone will steal it.
no one said it was hydrolocked lol. Oil pressure was good and it kept running with no additional nvh.
