Flipping the truck, now got problems..

klos · Jul 21, 2009

Coming home yesterday in the rain, i spun on around a right hand turn and hit an embankment and flipped the truck up on its side. Not wanting to notify the cops, I got 4 guys and a truck and chain to flip her right side up, but now she wont turn over and a have a transmission leak. I reset the safety fuel switch, and the battery has enough juice, but the starter will whine and start to turn, but sounds like it catches on something.

I took off work today to try to figure it out, but I was hoping some of you off-road guys may have some advice on this.

there is probaly oil in the Cylinders. to fix that take the spark plugs out and turn the enginge over to let the oil out put it back together and then it should fire up.

make sure you top off all of your fluids. once you start it, it will burn off a bunch of oil. after it burns it all off, you'll probably have to clean your spark plugs and will probably need a new oxygen sensor.

the transmission fluid leak was probably just fluid leaking out a vent. clean it up and refill the fluid and you will probably be okay.

Dont try to start it until you get the plugs out!

Oil is like water in a sense that it has amazing, unbelivable pressure. The starter is just strong enough to hydrolock it, which will BEND connecting rods!
