Dead in the water

The name on the door says it all because, it sure was.

Where you were stopped in the creek in the stuck picture it doesn't look all that deep.

Rookie mistake... the water doesn't need to be that deep. When you go too fast it creates a higher swell in front of you and that's when you hydrolock engines (i've done it )

And it really wasn't. I would've been fine if I had kept my foot off the gas

unfortunately the stock air intake location and design is a funnel for water to be sucked up by our jeeps and for this reason I avoid water like its the devil. I hope it's something easy and cheap for you man but sometimes you just have to say no I'll skip this one.

Dealership called today, motor is hydrolocked. Getting insurance company involved to get a claim going. I was told that once it's authorized, it'll take 2-3 days to put it back together again.

Dang I feel for ya. I did the same thing to mine after only having it a month. On a whim, I called my insurance agent and explained exactly how it happened.... my comprehensive coverage paid the whole thing! grant total - 6300 and change. Got the Airflow snorkel sitting in the garage. It's going on before ANY future water crossing!

Good luck with the claim and go by a snorkel

That was what i thought. It looked nice and deep with you running quickly through it and then when you stopped it wasn't much at all. Live and learn i suppose. Good luck on the claim.
