Deuce playing after 4"/hr rain

[Banshee365]

After those huge rain storms rolled through here in central FL last night, one of my pastures has a big pond now. When I woke up I saw it and threw on some boots and went out to take some pics. I alway's loved seeing things in water with the reflection. When I got out there I was suprised to find it was over a foot deep in places. I don't think the water was high enough to cause any wheel bearing grease problems but it sure was fun.

Careful don't you know just a few inches of moving water can wash a car away Sorry the talking heads have beat that into my head. I was surprised to find the axle vents were mounted just on top of the axle squares, so it might be worth a look.

looks like you missed out on the tornado damage, the t.v. is full of that.

That one shot is great at first I though a minature horse in the bed? lol

 

[devilman96]

Oh come on your susposed to hit that going full boar in a least 4th gear!!!

 

[Banshee365]

Haha, the axle vents never did submerge. The water isn't any higher than in any of those pics and the water is about up to the bottom of the axle housing. I would have hit it faster but my neighbors already think I'm a crazy redneck.

If they already think you are a crazy redneck then what do you have to loose?

 

[ida34]

Also, are you denying their allegations? You might be a crazy redneck if you play around in the standing rainwater in your deuce.

 

[Banshee365]

Oh I embrace the fact I'm a crazy redneck. Last night in the middle of the downpour I was out there in my F-250 "testing the waters" before we went to dinner. And just a minute ago my grandmother wanted to check it out and I took our JD Gator down there, but didn't go much off shore with that little bugger.

Nice truck wash Kelly! Looks like fun

Nothing to do with your situation, but we had this moron in WV drive through water over the hood of his deuce. The road from his house went through the creek in a couple of places. 10" of rain made the creek a rivier. Needless to say he locked the motor up. The water continued to rise until the entire truck was submerged! I wonder what happened to it? Prolly ended up on eBay real cheap.

Nice pics looks like fun glad the tornados didnt get there as well

now that is clean below the belt time for a lube job..

 

[Banshee365]

I think only the drums got some water in them. I doubt the u-joints saw water or the axle vents. The water may have got up to the bottom of the knuckle boots but not by much. Think there's anything I should check?

You could always just pull the fill plugs and check the level. If it pours out and looks milky, then time for a change. If the level is the same and the oil looks good then contamination should be minimal.

 

[Bidslinger]

Oh just go out and rip through the mud and water for a while then change the fluid whether it needs it or not.

Cool - but now we need pics of you hitting the water at 40mph to get those side-splashing geysers coming up from your front tires! We'd put that on the SS homepage!
