without water kit

[uriss]

I have just moments ago received a request for my deuce to do a water rescue. I donot have a water kit for it. I don't want to mess my truck up. How far up the wheel at a slow roll should I go into the water? Thanks (yes searching the TM's but haven't mastered where to find that info yet and this is quickest.




Found the info in the TM! 30 inches without the kit. Older neighbor all the way down the end of my dead end road in three foot of water. Just launched one of my boats so they could get him out. Medical reasons.

Rescue who/what? If it's just some dumbass that got his truck stuck in the mud, $$$ and make him do the after-fording maintenance.

30 INCHES... that is without a deep water fording kit.

Stay in 1st gear low range. Plug the hole in the bottom of the bell housing. When you are done you have lots of maintenance work to do. Be careful.

Plan on 10 hours of maintenance and $300 in parts&lubes.

They will do it, but at a cost.

I'd use a boat in anything over 12", if possible.

it's not worth it unless you get big $$$$$ up front. no way i would go 30 inches, MAYBE 24 and then only in clean water, you will pay for it later. get a long cable. winch cables are 200 ft.

It is more feasible to just send in a boat it's what they are made for. Save your self a lot of head and heart ache not to mention the money .........
