Quick Help!!!!!!!!

A friend of my sons has an 04 1500 6.0l 4X4.
They were 4wheeling and he sucked water in the intake, pulled the filter and it's dripping. Engine turns over but wont start.
What do you all think?

Pull Out the Spark Plugs and Crank it over a Few Times.

Any CEL's?

Change the oil too. Water in the crankcase is not good, and it can seep past rings.

 

[toytruckman]

Well his dad is hard-headed like me, so he made his son take it to the Chevy dealer? If I get an up-date I will let you all know.

If you sucked in water, there is a high possibility you've bent some rods, :sad:

 

[Ed HD]

Do a compression test to see if any are different, if so, you probably bent a rod.

 

[toytruckman]

So I have the final up-date.

Bad Bad news, 4 bent rods and before it stoped turning it scored a cylinder so bad that it trashed the block. He's looking for a 6.0 used but it looks like they are hard to come by in running condition?
Just thought I would let you all know.

Ouch. That is a hard lesson to learn.

A 5.3 will bolt right up in a pinch I believe.
