Otherwise the Hummer has open diffs front and rear, just like the cheapest SUVs on the civilian market. Of course, that's only the H1s. The H2s and H3s are just cheap SUVs wearing Hummer body kits. |

My brother did similar when he borrowed my toyota 4x4.
Whole front end was totally submerged, water in the cab up to the pedals (it was pointing downhill so seats stayed dry). Only saving grace is he shut it off immediately. Still was a sonofabitch to clean up. Had it towed home, yanked the plugs out and turned it over. Shot a bunch of water out. Changed oil, changed gear oil in front diff, transfer case and trans, also flushed PS since the reservoir was submerged. Ran and drove OK after that, started eating all kinds of parts (alternator, igniter, transmission) within a couple thousand miles of him playing U boat commander with it. |

It's hard to tell just how deep the water is, since we have no idea what kind of suspension he has under that... thing.
I've crossed creeks in my Wrangler where the water lapped over the side of the door frame and into the tub - but I was smart enough to keep fucking moving and keep the airbox out of the water. What would possess someone to try to cross that in an H3? As wide and deep as that is, I'd not take my Jeep through it even if I had a snorkel on it. |

my buddy did this same thing in high school. His dad pulled us out, drained the oil, refilled it, and we drove it home. he changed the fluids, and never had a problem. Yeah, it takes a little time for the water to do some damage - ether does a good job of drying out the cylinders. |

I would say it's not as bad as it looks. Some electrical gremlins to chase down perhaps but a change of fluids (provided he shut it off) and some TLC it'll be alright.

To his credit, at least said this:

For those that haven't read his thread, he had been periodically driving onto a construction site and hitting a mud hole.
It seems somebody there wasn't too happy with that and dug the hole a bit deeper.

He should have known that by the surrounding dirt. If that'd been rocky creek bottom, he would most likely come on through. I'm NOT saying those hummers are very capable. But that water was doable given a good bottom. |

Young people do stupid things, especially when trying to impress women....I did the almost exact same thing with a 87 XJ on 33's when I was in college trying to impress the girls riding with me,except I was on a buddies property with him. It turned out fine.,It was a little deeper than we thought and it went under,hydrolocked and stopped, I built the Jeep and know how to work on cars so it was easy. Had a buddy pull me out, drained all fluids and filters, pulled spark plugs and cranked all of the water out of the engine. My buddies helped me strip the interior. We powerashed the seats and carpet and cleaned the inside. I had done it around midnight and had it running by lunch time the next day. We put the plugs in and cranked it right up. Ran rough and wouldn't idle down to less than 1k for about 30 minutes till stuff started drying out. A few months later I had to replace the TCM, with a junkyard unit for $50....the old one had some dirt/dust in it
