Engine died in high water
I recently went through some water that was covering the road to my home. The water was deeper than what I thought and the engine died on me about 3/4 of the way through. I got it pushed out of the water and towed home, but after a couple of days of drying out, it wouldn't start. I pulled the oil pan and there was a little bit of water in the oil (not much) and then pulled the starter. It had some water in it as well. If I replace the starter and oil, will I be okay or is the engine just shot? I have a 1995 Dodge Caravan with a v6 3 liter. Any help will be appreciated. I don't want to replace the starter if I am going to have to turn around and put a whole new engine in it. Thanks.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
