no problem. you still got another two feet to go! -seriously though, that makes for a bad day.

We need the story on this... and the aftermath!

That really sucks!!!

looks like the snorkel didnt help much.

HOLY CRAP Theo!! Testing out the snorkel??

What happened?

OMG thats gonna be $$$

K.. Well was out with and got seperated from the group. I knew if I followed the river I would find my way out. Was driving along and the embankment I was on gave way and walla. Front end into the water. I was able to keep it on but when I realized I was stuck I killed it. starting throwing whatever I had up front into the back and climbed out the window. Ended up everyone thought that I had gotten out already and when I got cell phone reception I called them and the few that were in the valley still came up to me and they called for a winch. Got winched out and was dragged for the next 3 hours through the jungle. Got to the main road and called for a tow truck. Got home drained my oil and pulled my interior apart, pulled my ECU and went to sleep. Next day drained front diff, Tranny fluid, pulled spark plugs, checked distributor, and hand cranked engine, drained oil again, put back in my ECU, and cranked over the engine. Drained oil again, replaced spark plugs and cranked her over and she started up after a few tried. Flushed all my fluids again and she works. Just need to figure out a few small things, flush all the fluids again and she will be good to go. Todd if you want to come over this weekend we are going to be having a wire-harness cleaning and bearing packing party at my place.

wow thats nutts... glad to hear she works

Watch out the first time you use the A/C blower fan.

*foosh!*

Awesome Theo... Hope you have it back up and running with all the little quirks worked out soon.

Damn, Theo! Hope she's feelin weel.

Man, that's not good. A lot worse than I had it.

Is yours a manual or auto. If it is auto, the transmission is probably shot as water in there, even if you drain and replace the fluids, will more than likely kill the transmission.

Sorry, but how did you get in there?

Good God man it is a truck, not a submarine!

That is by far the worst stuck I have ever seen for an Xterra.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. TJ went through a lot less water and hydrolocked his motor.

If I were you I would get a new/used ECM now. You will need it. I would also dry out (somehow) the ECM wiring harness connector with silicon spray. The pins are definitely going to corrode if you hook the ECM back up. Check the O2 sensors also. TJ had water stuck in the cats. Repack wheel bearings. How is the electronics, the radio, power door locks and windows? W-O-W......

Uhhhh, gonna be over on Maui for the rest of the week, sorry I'm gonna have to miss that one... :rolleyes:

Look at you two.. talking about island hopping you lucky bastards

Mark, you could always transfer to Hickam, then you, like me right now, could be checking your email from a laptop while sitting in boardshorts on your patio at the beach watching the whales go by in the Maui channel...

Nope, as much as I'd love to be there. I'm goin to Malmstrom next with my winter jacket If I ever got moved to Hickam and they told me to leave Id suddenly be AWOL...

Holy shit, Theo. I just saw this. Were you out with Damn Kids near Kualoa Ranch? Let me know if you need some help.

yeah, no kidding dude, that's a snorkle, not a periscope! That sucks.

Man...The X is just a Vehicle...It is not a Vehicle/Submarine like one of those James Bond Movies....
