Hello all,
2003 SD 4-tec wake 1500 non supercharged
After 20 years of skiing I had a one time brain fart doing a prep before an upcoming trip w the family and the ski. I did the dreaded turned the engine off first and forgot about the water for long enough to flood to the engine. It was bad, hydro locked, chocolate milk oil the whole 9 yards. I was able to get thru it and get all the water out, oil changes etc etc. however once I fired it back up cleaned out I ran it for a bit forgetting about the consequences of the shaft seal. Prob ran for a solid 10+ minutes. My question is, do you think it’s ok or should I drive it for an hour to bring it to the lake to put it in the water and check or throw the towel in and change it out straight away. I m just not sure how much residual water I may see in the ski after putting it in the water and driving around a bit. I have to test this out pre vacation so I don’t blow it for the whole time later this month.
Hoping for some help..thanks
