My truck let down major today. Went into the woods to pull out a dog that had no business being in the my where of was. So i went in pulled her truck out no problem then on my way back out there is a 75 yard long mud hole that I had just ran threw to get to the dodge. I get about half way threw it and my truck just dies on me! I'm stuck sitting in about a foot foot and a half of water and some soft sticky mud undrr that now

No matter what I do I can't get her started back up again. So I had to swallow all the pride I have and call someone to pull me out now cuz the dodge is behind me and get around to pull me in the direction I need to go to get out. So what shows up this Dang yota, that only has 2 wheel drive cuz he is waiting on a new drive front drive shaft to come in, Comes in walks right up threw this mud that I could barely get threw in the first place. Hooks up to me and just yanks me out.

So now that I'm out of the mud the yota is supposed to take me to the road to get my tuck towed back to the house. Well he decides stopping 300 yards short of the road is close enough and drops my truck out behind some hill then starts asking for 20 bucks for pulling me out.

Buy wait there's more, me and the guy driving the yota see the dodge trying to drive back threw the hole and getting stuck because it was now so rotted out from the yota driving threw it. So the yota guy says oh well someone else can pull her out and just leaves me and this girl there. With my truck dead and hers stuck in this mud hole.

So I spent all night working to get that damn truck out of the mud. Finally got my truck home got her started up, there was water in the distributor, come to find out I ate up the power steering gear box somehow and the yota twisted my new bumper up so bad that I couldn't turn the wheels with out hitting the tires in it.

So that was my night, how was yalls 4th?


Sorry about the double post I'm writing on my phone and hot the post button on accident and I guess I don't know how to delete the first one if I even can

After you get that disty dried up real good silicone it all shut and you won't have that problem again. Back in my fun days I had my 300I6 all sealed up to the intake port. I drove that truck threw so much water it was crazy and the 300 never missed a beat.

I've heard of people running the 300s out of oil on purpose trying to blow them up and not being able to for a long while

I still like that white one you used to have. This one is cool too. I thought you were driving the Explorer since its better on gas.
