It was only 2 ft. deep but water splashed into my intake and shut it off so I sank. Took out the air filter and she started right back up. My buddy got stuck too trying to pull me out.

Did mine yesterday too, for the first time, how did you fill yours back up? And how much antifreeze did you use? Mine kept having an air pocket and overheat and spew it all back out on the ground and I cant get it to fill all the way back to good running conditions, and I definetly dont want it to freeze this winter

IMO it's worth it to get an antifreeze tester to check the mixture of antifreeze to distilled water. They only cost a couple bucks.

Capacity is 12qts, so assume the coolant in the block is water (after a flush) say 6 qts of antifreeze plus the remaining space with distilled water should be about right.

Just wondering? Could you remove the lower rad hose and turn the engine on for about 20-30 seconds, would it shoot out all of the coolant from the block? Just wondering not going to do it.

Finished most of the welding and put it back on. Still gotta cut the back or else tires will rub at max flex, gotta add some support for stinger too. Then blast it then paint.
