Asked by RAMpage1012 Dec 08, 2018 at 12:07 AM about the Dodge RAM 1500
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Ran into high water with my 2016 RAM my truck
stalled and wouldn't crank checked under the hood
and noticed my fender guard was pushed back and
opened the air filter to find the filter soaked going
to let it sit for a couple days but is there anything
else I should be doing in the meantime
Your computer modules and fuse boxes may have gotten soaked. Open the covers and use a heat gun or hair dryer on low to dry them out. Gotta check the battery cable connections around starter too. If it tries to crank but engine seems seized it might be hydrolocked, especially if the engine sucked in a good amount of water. At that point, DO NOT crank the motor, a hydrolocked engine can destroy itself. The only way to know for sure is pull spark plugs and watch for water being spewed out when cranking. Of course hydrolock is a worst case scenario, hopefully that's not your case.
