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.

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!
