So yesterday it was storming pretty bad here and the usual puddle outside of my apartment complex was a little larger so i drove up and coasted through turning my intake into a straw, then I stalled out and had to push my car over to a parking lot.

Finally got it started and there was a knocking noise, brought it to a shop today and the guy just called and said a rod bent and i'd need a motor.

not fun. Wish i went through the front gate.

 

You cant delete, but i took care of it for you.

Sorry about your troubles bro

 

Damn man, i'm really sorry to hear that. That's terrible!
I worry about that happening every time I see parking lot puddles. 02.gif

 

dang man... tell us what your RPM was sitting at. I want to know more... Speed, RPM, how hard you hit the puddle, how deep the puddle was... all of it.

 

I was coasting through in neutral from just turning a corner from a stop, so it was pretty slow. RPM were probably were at like idle or lower cuz my idle dips cuz my idle air control hose has a kink. Puddle was pretty deep, it just finished hailing and pouring outside.

An adjuster is checking it out tomorrow and hopefully they wont b**** about the aftermarket parts(crosses fingers) and pay for it. laugh.gif

 

quickly, change your CAI to a short ram!

 

yeah dude if they see you have a cai, they definitely won't cover it, considering that aftermarket part is exactly what caused the damage.

 

Ah...the days of having my cold air intake...lol Been there...kinda, except mine turned over and started after 15 minutes of waiting.

 

Insurance is covering it laugh.gif the garage found a new motor with less miles then mine, and should hopefully been ready Tuesday.

 

That's good, I guess you'll think twice the next time a puddle comes your way.
