Ok, so here's where the motor stopped running on me:
... and here is where it got deeper on the winch out, ended up with 4" of water on the passenger side, and the BCM went nuts...
Please, no need to say that we should have just let the truck behind me pull me BACK out rather than winching forward... I know. :?
Anyway, what apparently happened is I went in a little quicker than I intended to, the intake got splashed on entry, and the mass air flow sensor shut the car off. Which, I guess is a good thing. Mind you, I realize this is deep... but am I crazy to think that we should have been able to make a better go of this?
So... if I am crazy... has anyone successfully fitted a snorkel to a P38? Or is there something else that may have taken water on entry to cause the truck to just stop running and not allow a restart?
Damage report: BCM was dried out, and the truck actually started and was running for about 10 minutes... albeit not very well. Then, it started throwing fuse 6, 7 and 17 errors along with other erroneous errors, and will turn over but will not start. None of the fuses are blown. Also, the transmission is unresponsive (can't shift out of park). I'm guessing this is because it thinks fuse 7 is blown, which relates to the Engine, Transmission and Transfer Case ECUs. So, I'm assuming the BCM is fried. Door locks don't work; I'm guessing there's a module for that somewhere in a door on the passenger side that's cooked. Other than that, I think we're OK. Didn't take much water in the intake at all (like I said, a splash) and she turns over so she's not hydro-locked. We'll see once we start digging into it more at the shop... My buddies at Trailhead 4X4 will help me figure this all out and hopefully get her rolling again.
Rock on,
