wow glad its running and wasnt ruined from the flood. I would guess Mainac is right about the brakes. No water should have gotten into the fluid since its a sealed system. Good luck

 

Smooth Sailing lol

 

That totally sucks but you should NEVER drive through standing water cause you really don't know how deep it is until it's too late. Up where I live (at least the couple of roads I take to get to and from work) didn't have flooding issues.

 

Lucky you! Wow... I'd bleed your breaking system to see if there is water in the lines. I'm not sure but isn't there an electronic sensor on the breaking system for anti-lock breaks that might have been shorted out? That would be my guess. You might want to check that out before you bleed you lines. good luck.

 

Glad you and the Monte are OK, guess I can be thankful for the foot of snow we received rather than the rain.

Hope all keeps running strong!

 

My thoughts exactly. And you're lucky if the interior stayed dry. With the nasty water the car was sitting in, you were sure to have mould or fungus growing inside it, if the water got in.

Personally, I would've been hoping the airbag circuit didn't short out and deploy on me. But that's just me being paranoid I suppose.

 

Unless there is a leaking break line, that system is sealed (only point to open is the brake reservoir). Unless the water was over the cap of the reservoir, no need to bleed them.

I go back to checking the vacuum system for the brake booster.

 

Wow, that's crazy. Glad your still running!!!!!

 

Well the brakes regained pressure after a few hours of driving, didn't have to bleed them!

Yea I'm not sure y water didn't make it inside the interior but the pocket where my spare tire sits was like a mini pool I found out 2 days later, one thing that really did get effected by the water was my door hinges they're squeaking and are now rusting pretty quick, white lithium grease &WD40 aren't really helping out and the rusting issue is causing my door alightment to become off center now...

Water was over two thirds of my hood at the time, every single thing under the hood was pretty much under water. The only thing I would way wasn't under water was my wiper motor and the cowl where my wipers rest at.

Actually I drive daily on the road that my car got stuck on and i was eyeing how deep it was to where the curb was but accourding to the construction crew that have been tearing it up since the flood and i wasnt sure y they are working on it but apparently the road has dipped 2 feet or so from the weight of the water on top of it thus for y I was in 3 feet of water when I thought I was about to drive through only a foot at the most!!! Oh and the water wasn't steady but more like a damn raging river, it kept pushing my car left n right all my wheels took major hits from the curbs surrounding the location to the point where it knocked the weight balance off of 3 of the 4 wheels
