Hey guys I'm 22 and I got my deuce 4 years ago, so I have some experience with working on it. But this week mother nature through me a curveball. I live in southeast Louisiana and my town got hammered by Isaac.
I'm here to tell you that I love this truck and it worked amazingly through the storm. I was asked by the sheriff’s department to help rescue people out of my neighborhood. My deuce pulled 55 people and 10 animals out through 5.5' of water and howling winds. It also pulled a bottomed out 50 foot long RV out of a 4' deep ditch.
It did all this after I found out the week before that two cylinders had bad piston rings which were pushing oil into the exhaust manifold and it also has two bad head gaskets. So as I’m pushing through this water it was overheating and at one point pegged the gauge but there was nothing I could do but keep driving. The truck would not give up.
So it got a little banged up but what I need to know is what I need to do to make sure going through high water doesn't damage it in the long run. You know as far as fluids and anything else that might be at risk. Y'all input would help me out a lot. Thanks.
