Drain the fluids, leave everything open, put a milkhouse heater under the hood for 24hr, fill everthing back up (with oil, not water again) then drive it. Unless you hydroed the engine at high rpm...

Then change the fluids two more times. Did this with a buddies dodge 3500 and he's sill drivig it 4 yrs later

Vacuumed out the intake, pulled the glow plugs (out poured a gallon of water) and bumped the starter about six times blowin' out less and less water. Seventh bump no crank so I'ma pull the intake and heads next, but not really upset as I want the 6.5L turbo.

+1 you could have snorkled it for cheap and saved alot of headache and $$$ :roll:
Coulda stayed out of the pond, but just havin' fun before I deploy here in two weeks.
