as long as it wasnt running when it got stuck, and obvisouly the water wasnt that high you should be fine.

lots and lots of wd 40, pullyour plugs and fire it over, change your oil and all fluids. (mite haft to drie out for a few days) and you should be golden.

I seen vehicles completly submerged and run after a day or two, with just whagt i listed above.

see my truck for example

I'm not so much worried about the water. More of the bang and instant loss of oil pressure.. it ran but like 3 legged Shetland pony in a thouroughbred race...

I'm pretty sure it was Brad who changed my avatar... seems to be a good way to end the chapter on bad company....

I pulled it over a dirt pile with a back hoe, nothing fancy...

Hey Don,

Try what I do when things don't seem to be going according to my plan.
I recite to myself:

"There was a man who complained because he did not have a new pair of shoes...........till he saw a man with no feet."

Not that I advocate a lower bar...just be sure to keep in perspective.

And......Don't mess with Texas!
