We went camping a few years ago with some friends, and a buddy got his 4x4 Suburban stuck when trying to cross a ravine. I found a picture that looks similar to what he went through.
Now, the funny thing is that he killed the engine, pulled the plugs, changed the oil and the thing started up about 24 hours after it was submerged. Now, the carpet was shot and it took some detailing to get back to normal but it still ran tough.
Yeah, just as long as the block doesn't get cracked or whatever, you'd be surprised how much you can come back from ... if you don't have insurance and it's not a daily driver that is.

Had a problem this week I'm still trying to solve. Started losing power while pulling my boat to a local reservoir (97 Suburban 5.7 liter). Got past a grade I was pulling and it seemed to be fine. On the way home, had to pull another grade, problem returned but much worse. Had to stop the...
