Hydro static lock & hydro seizing help!
 

i hydro seized and hydro static locked an explorer 3 days ago i got it running after and hour of letting water pour outta it but i need to know what i need to replace and all that good stuff if you can help me out thanks!

Oil/Oil Filter.. should be the only thing u have to replace if u have all the water out..

Maybe plugs as well right?

i would replace the air filter or clean it up, check the diff fluid maybe?

i already changed the oil and the filter on it and i got to get a new air flow sensor. thanks guys i didnt remember to do the plugs!! thanks so much!

Just blow the water off with an air gun and u'll be good to go be a good time to check the gap on them as well

alrighty! will do thanks!

When I threw my truck in the water, I ran ATF fluid in it to clean everything out. I let the truck run in the garage, changed it, and repeated that 4 times toll the fluid stopped coming out milky. Then I ran cheap oil through it for a thousend Km's, then put the good stuff in. She is still running strong too.

CARNAGE!

yall are such goofballs. it makes my day.
and im sure everyone likes it mean and rough every once in a while
ahahahahahaahaahahaah:biglaugh:

maybe i dont get it...hydro seized AND hydro locked? isn't it one or the other? you sucked in water. yes?

its hydro static locked which means water got into everything electrical.
hydro seized is water on metal. which would be 2 of the pistons.

damn man best of luck fixing the exploder... so how did all this happen just from sucking in water in the intake? or was is cause the motor was submerged?

i had my truck under water but the intake was still above so the truck ran fine and back home, that was memorial day weekend... should i be worried about anything on my truck...

How high was the water? Not sure on a 2000 but the front axle vent tube is the low on my 2003. So any water than about 3/4 of the tire will get water in the front axle. You can easily extend that tube and the other tubes but I never got around to it.

if your truck is ideling really high and wont go into like crusin mode then yes but otherwise i'd just check the air filter and see if waters is in it if it is change it and the sensor and change your oil and oil filer cuz water in oil is bad. oh and im not a man. im a chick.

after going through all this crap for this dang explorer im going to lowes today and getting some pvc pipe and im gonna rig a snorkel just in case

I was talking about the tranny, front and rear axle and t case vents.

Just don't go through water at 100MPH or through stuff deeper than your tires and you wont need a snorkel.

thats the problem the mud i mess with is thick sloppy deep red clay mud so im doing it as a precaution

Is this Exploder stock?

besides 31's yes i got shackels and coils on the way and im doing a spring over next week but right now its stock
