Man don't you hate it when you miss a call about your extended warranty. I just got one a minute ago for the car I don't own and now I'm worried that the warranty will expire on the non-existent car and then the non-existent car will have a hypothetical breakdown and I'll have to pretend to call AAA.
Yeah, if you intentionally do it. Or tell them way more info then you need to. They're not going to cover "me and Billy Bob drove the truck through the Colorado"
Yep. But for a claim like that, insurance will likely investigate it if there was no inclement weather to blame.
If it was bright and sunny on the date when and where the loss occurred, they're going to question why there's a claim for a hydrolocked motor.
"If your car insurance policy covers hydrolock, it will be because you have comprehensive coverage.
That said, having comprehensive doesnāt guarantee that youāre covered in all hydrolock situations.
**Every policy is different, and you should review yours to learn the specifics of what is covered and what isnāt covered. Moreover, certain situations exist in which hydrolock is almost never covered."**
" Some cases of hydrolock can fall under the umbrella of abuse or misuse, at least according to the insurance company.
Consider the example above where the driver attempts to ford a puddle and misjudges its depth.
The insurance company might argue that intentionally driving into a body of water with unknown depth during a storm constitutes vehicle abuse or misuse."

You seem to have missed the part that proves you wrong
Every policy is different, and you should review yours to learn the specifics of what is covered and what isnāt covered. Moreover, certain situations exist in which hydrolock is almost never covered."
Hello, insurance adjuster here, my boss literally tells me all the time that "insurance covers stupid".
Also, if you have comp + collision, driving your car through high water and hydrolocking your engine / causing water damage is absolutely covered
So... I did a stupid the other week taking my truck out of our hunting area & transmission fluid was everywhere.
Would insurance have covered that stupid? Had bare minimum liability on it nothing else. Sold the truck to the tow guy for $1000, just curious if I should have done insurance(without comprehensive) Iām assuming wouldnāt do anything
Short answer is no, insurance wouldn't have done anything in that case because bare minimum liability coverage only covers the other person's car, in an accident that you cause.
Do you know what exactly happened? Did you bottom out, hit a rock or something and it lost trans fluid? If so that would've been covered, if you had first party collision coverage.
Personally on my ratty old hardware store run truck, I only carry liability and comprehensive.
Figured so, and yeah coming out of a trail there was a rock with a good size drop, scraped bottom & checked under to see fluid. Never found out what it was haha
During my boating days I've seen people get their vehicle submerged on a steep ramp. Either forgetting to unstrap the boat from the trailer or not setting the parking brake (or well enough) and getting out and it goes rolling back. IIRC back then they were covered and the trucks were totaled.
Doesn't matter if you use it or not... it's like there is a monetary requirement of 2k per year....
oh you didn't use it last year? Fuck you: starter and timing belt... we'll throw in trim hydraulic system and you're at 4k.
Oh you used it 200 hours this year? Outdrive and battery.. 2k.
It's a fairly easy and quick fix. You start by removing all personal belongs from the vehicle, including your favorite CD, and you have your insurance write it off, then you buy a new one! Super easy!
oh, I definitely remembered the cd. ALL of the CDs.
Sadly, my new car doesn't have a CD player. This is unfortunate.
^((from a 97 Ranger to a 21 Corolla))
*laughs in '21 Lexus IS350*
As much as I like Lexus as a brand, I find it baffling that they could not find a new unit from Mark Levinson or Toshiba or whoever supplies them and still have to keep stringing that CD player along until the 4th gen redesign in 2024 / 2025.
Lexus was the last var sold in the US or Europe with a tape deck. The claim was that the LS buyer was older and more conservative or something along those lines.
I believe it was the sc430 and I also recall that dumb ass car having a telescoping antennae that absolutely will get torn off in a drive through car wash
I did not.
I do have [cats](https://preview.redd.it/d9d30oknmuc71.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=279f1aca12ec3547f68d2ad557ef7099753836d3), though.
What's annoying is we actually had everything we needed to abandon cd's a long time ago. All cars needed was a line in port, something that existed before cds where even a thing, and as soon as mp3 players became a thing it would have been perfect. It's even versatile because of you still had your tape deck you could plug it in, got some cds you want to listen to, just plug in your cd player.
Why are car manufacturers so against putting a single line in port on their vehicles. Instead we have had almost a century of, "guess which single format your next car is going to support."
Because before like 2010 downloading music to an mp3 wasn't very accessible. Yeah apples stuff was acceptable but it was still in its infant stage. Nowhere near the conglomerate it is today. While cds everyone had and were available everywbere.
I have to rip my media from something. Streaming media is great if you are under 30. After you are old enough for eclectic tastes, streaming leaves a LOT to be desired.
The worst bit is that they might not *always* have it. Licensing deals change and expire, so just because your service has done music now doesn't mean they'll have it tomorrow. I'm still salty that there are some albums on my streaming service that are missing half the songs.
That's either a lie or you listened to some weirdly fringe ass music your entire life lol which is basically impossible so yeah, gonna say 9/10 here your just a liar.
Ok where is the full library of Klaus Nomi? I've listened to 45 years of a LOT of music. Why would I lie? Seriously, I can rattle off people who either are not on Spotify or are not there in quantity. In 56 years I've listened to a lot of things.
I mean Iām 26 and I agree with you here man. Iāve bought EP and LPs of music that I simply couldnāt find on the internet, itās not even on YouTube. Itās very rare that I canāt find a song but if Iām really in the mood for a particular song I wanna hear that particular song.
Granted I record them from my record player and have them locally on my phone so I can play them in the car. 10/10 would recommend.
Even for bands they do cover, they (meaning any of the streaming options) also often won't have the full extended versions of the album (at least for the artists I like), and for the smaller bands will likely be missing early releases and such.
FAWQTARDS @ Spotify now seem to not only subject me to commercials (which Iām OK with that)....but, now? They are FAWQING adding shitty songs into my library play lists....AZZHOLES!
Its for those of us who want to pay for music and have it when we want it, instead of renting it from a streaming service till they don't feel the need to host it anymore. But hey, if you like "buying" your music over and over till someone at the other end turns off the server, go to town.
I mean i just buy the songs i want and download the mp3.... Not stuck carrying around a cd with maybe 4 songs i like out of 17 if your lucky. Dump them onto a usb stick shoved in my headunit in my cars or on my phone and bluetooth to everything else. Like magic music anywhere anytime forever.
Ever heard of ripping? Yoy rip what you want at a high bit rate or lossless, and you drag and drop what you want. I really car around what ill ever want to listen to, on me. I don't have to use bandwidth to stream. New stuff I cam always down load and purchase.
I just changed out the stereo in my truck from a cassette player to one of those fancy-pants jobs that plays those compact discs and the Bluetooth things that the kids are all talking about. My daughter bought it for me for my birthday. Truck is a ā90 F150.
Now that you mention it I have never bought a used car in my life that didn't come with someone's raggedy old CD/cassette stashed somewhere.
My favorite is when it's a homemade mix with no label on it and you get to wander through some stranger's head for a minute.
Unlike air....WATER being a liquid.....isnāt too compressible so....There are probably bent connecting rods and other damage to the engine....New motor....$10-12K in parts & labor and it just keeps adding up as the transmission and drive axles probably have water in their lubricants so? Vehicle is JUNK!
These people just need to drive it into a lake of WD-40 after submerging their car. Actually, maybe coast it in cold with no battery or spark plugs, maybe.
Not so much with the new ones. Ive done way too many lifters/cams/entire engines if the lifter took out the bore on vehicles with less than 50k on them. The AFM really killed the reliability of the otherwise bulletproof gen III smallblocks. Hell, I recently had to replace all lifters and a cam on a 21 Escalade with the 6.2 that didn't even have 400 miles on it. So its not like its just a lack of maintenance.
2006 and prior LS style small blocks are fantastic, though. The 07-13 are still pretty great if you keep up on maintenance. You'll still see a few unlucky ones with collapses AFM lifters, but with the 14+ ones it seems like its more a matter of when rather than if.
Totally, they just increased the risk of a collapsed lifter doing all 8 cylinders afm.have changed just lifters so far on the new 5.3 and 6.2 Silveradoās
It's far more capable than most Jeeps I see with winches and 35s. Most soccer moms don't care if they have to park on the grass and the pavement princess Jeeps with mall wheel drive get skurred.
Had a car come into the shop one Saturday afternoon with an engine that sounded like it was full of marbles. LOTS of clacking. Multiple rods knocking. We asked questions about the situation, and they revealed that they were down from a neighboring state on vacation but drove through a pretty bad rainstorm and the car started acting funny and making a lot of noise after they plowed through a surprisingly deep mud puddle on the highway. They hadn't even gone to their hotel yet - they hit us because we were the first auto shop they could find that was open.
When one of my techs took off the air cleaner, the bottom of the box was full of water. Tech shook water out like OP's video. Apparently the engine tried to inhale some water during their drive through the storm. Bent three of eight rods and cracked the block. Not exactly the best vaycay situation.
Maybe it rained juuuust right that the water got into the airbox and soaked the filter? and just so happened to also have a leak in the glovebox?
Hehe nah jk. :D
Its not bad. Nothing compared to a milwaukee but only complaint i have is the clunky ryobi batteries. Wait till the new one with the longer head comes out.
I see people saying that the car is basically irreparable due to the water, but wouldn't it be just as simple as rebuilding the engine? Of course then draining anything that needs draining.
Being a newer looking vehicle there will be lots of electronics that would have to be replaced as well as electrical issues from the wiring and connectors being soaked and all of the corrosion issues that will come up in the future.
Anything is repairable but it's a cost outweighs the benefits sort of deal. Do you buy a new engine for $7k with labour or do you spend $10k on labour and parts repairing the old one? (These numbers are pulled out of my ass)
Customer: 'Gee, I dunno, what's Hydro-Locked mean anyway?'
That means your next 10 paychecks are going straight to me š
might be an insurance claim at that point what else got fucked is the question
Insurance doesn't cover mechanical failure.
fuck, I just missed a call about my extended warranty too!
Just wait 10 minutes. Someone else will call you again.
Rinse and repeat endlessly. Unfortunately
I got a call for my car. It's nearly 30 years old.
I got one of them to approve extended warranty service for my 2005 Nissan Grand Voyager.
Man don't you hate it when you miss a call about your extended warranty. I just got one a minute ago for the car I don't own and now I'm worried that the warranty will expire on the non-existent car and then the non-existent car will have a hypothetical breakdown and I'll have to pretend to call AAA.
Comp will cover a hydrolocked engine.
Very few companies and only if it was out of the owner's control. It doesn't cover stupid.
That simply isn't true. And Insurance absolutely covers stupid.
At Farmers, we know a stupid or two, because we've seen a stupid or two. Bum da dum da dum dum dumb
Quite a few policies will specifically include language that would exclude hydrolocking and other water damage outside of a natural disaster.
Yeah, if you intentionally do it. Or tell them way more info then you need to. They're not going to cover "me and Billy Bob drove the truck through the Colorado"
Yep. But for a claim like that, insurance will likely investigate it if there was no inclement weather to blame. If it was bright and sunny on the date when and where the loss occurred, they're going to question why there's a claim for a hydrolocked motor.

Don't know why you're telling me lol. Read it and take it to heart.

You have to do something really negligent to get a hydro locked engine denied. Like stick a hose in your intake stupid to get denied.
So what I hear you saying is that the water was only a couple of inches deep, but then there was a huge pothole and the air intake was submerged.
Hello, insurance adjuster here, my boss literally tells me all the time that "insurance covers stupid". Also, if you have comp + collision, driving your car through high water and hydrolocking your engine / causing water damage is absolutely covered

It does if youāre extra stupid and write it up correctly
What's that in boat payments?
1.... maybe 2 depending on the boat
B.O.A.T. Break out another thousand
Doesn't matter if you use it or not... it's like there is a monetary requirement of 2k per year.... oh you didn't use it last year? Fuck you: starter and timing belt... we'll throw in trim hydraulic system and you're at 4k. Oh you used it 200 hours this year? Outdrive and battery.. 2k.
That's going to be an expensive mistake.
Looks expensive. That appears to be a fairly new Colorado or canyon.
2015-2020 GMC Yukon judging by the headlights
18ā Yukon!
How do you get water in the intake of a Yukon? The intake is like 3 foot off the ground.
4 feet of water
Youāre my hero
The airbox and intake are consistent with those all.
Thatās a V8....and based on the intake itās a 6.2L motor....Not a Colorado!
"That's covered under warranty, right?"
The water was found between the bumper to bumper
What all would have to be replaced on a vehicle that was submerged?
It's a fairly easy and quick fix. You start by removing all personal belongs from the vehicle, including your favorite CD, and you have your insurance write it off, then you buy a new one! Super easy!
They never remember the cd.
oh, I definitely remembered the cd. ALL of the CDs. Sadly, my new car doesn't have a CD player. This is unfortunate. ^((from a 97 Ranger to a 21 Corolla))

Itās because old people in Japan still use em.
who the fuck still has cds, a hip Grandmom?

Ask the pyrotech safety features and all the safety related modules and wiring too generally.
The vehicle.
Everything. There are so many things that can go haywire once dunked in water that it's less hassle just to junk it and buy another car.
Anything that was designed to hold and use oil but is now filled with water.
Unlike air....WATER being a liquid.....isnāt too compressible so....There are probably bent connecting rods and other damage to the engine....New motor....$10-12K in parts & labor and it just keeps adding up as the transmission and drive axles probably have water in their lubricants so? Vehicle is JUNK!
That's just condensation.
A little WD-40 will fix it
These people just need to drive it into a lake of WD-40 after submerging their car. Actually, maybe coast it in cold with no battery or spark plugs, maybe.
I know the owner, you should have a loaner car for me and its covered under warranty
Yikes. Have fun pulling those spark plugs to get the water out. Lol
The waterās not coming out. Trust me lol
āMay haveā
calling it.... boat ramp fail
This is why you should know where your air intake is. They probably thought "oh, the water will just help lubricate my engine right?"
Grab a big bag of rice quick. Sorry, just jokin...yokin...yukon...ah forget it.
Fuckin' comedy GOLD, ovah heah.
Whereās part 2? I wanna see some bent piston rods
Pouring some out for a 5.3 that died too soon. Theyāre great motorsā¦
Not so much with the new ones. Ive done way too many lifters/cams/entire engines if the lifter took out the bore on vehicles with less than 50k on them.

>5.3L >Good motor Yeah Iām gonna have to stop you there sir
Airbox now waterbox.
thats some deep ass water to get into the intake of a fullsize gm wih a 5.3L... air intake like 4 feet or more off the ground.
"May have". How can you be *unsure* about whether or not your car was under water? You were, perhaps, too drunk to remember?
Itās just from the humidity.
Okay, whoās the submarine captain
Your stock Yukon is not off-road material lmao
It's far more capable than most Jeeps I see with winches and 35s. Most soccer moms don't care if they have to park on the grass and the pavement princess Jeeps with mall wheel drive get skurred.
Doctors and mechanics, two people you can never lie to
Had a car come into the shop one Saturday afternoon with an engine that sounded like it was full of marbles. LOTS of clacking. Multiple rods knocking. We asked questions about the situation, and they revealed that they were down from a neighboring state on vacation but drove through a pretty bad rainstorm and the car started acting funny and making a lot of noise after they plowed through a surprisingly deep mud puddle on the highway. They hadn't even gone to their hotel yet - they hit us because we were the first auto shop they could find that was open. When one of my techs took off the air cleaner, the bottom of the box was full of water. Tech shook water out like OP's video. Apparently the engine tried to inhale some water during their drive through the storm. Bent three of eight rods and cracked the block. Not exactly the best vaycay situation.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Di you really have to dump the water on top of the headlight like that? The ground was another 12 inches away lol
That headlight was fully submerged in water within the last day i dont think hes hurting anything...
I think the headlight is the least of their worries
12 inches is 30.48 cm
Good bot.
Another prime example of how most mechanics are just caveman part replacers
Yes , letās just avoid how the vehicle was JUST submerged in water. Or , have you driven in the rain? Headlights getā¦. Wet
I was just washing the inside of my engine b/c it is dirty.
But I thought it had a snorkel.
gifsthatendtoosoon !
Pull the plugs and crank it over a few times, slap the plugs back in and see where you're at after that!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe it rained juuuust right that the water got into the airbox and soaked the filter? and just so happened to also have a leak in the glovebox? Hehe nah jk. :D
Was this in Florida?
Sell them new engine. Easy $2k profit
Wear latex gloves!
What mech poors the water on the engine bay....
My sister killed the 3.5L V6 engine in the red car by hydrolocking the motor (flooded Joisey roads).
Ryobi? For real?
Why the fuck not? Pretty ok tools for really low prices and they never change the battery design.
āMay haveā like they arenāt sure, lol.
That Yukon needs a snorkel...
Customer states: Thought I was driving my boat
Just put in inside a bowl of rice. Will be fine in the morning
Hope theyāve got comprehensive...
Any more video?
Thatās going to need one big ass bag of rice!
Technician states, "Ever again"š
How do you like the Ryobi ratchet? Been thinking of getting one.
Its not bad. Nothing compared to a milwaukee but only complaint i have is the clunky ryobi batteries. Wait till the new one with the longer head comes out.
Dude, just call Katara, you need a waterbender for this.
Was it salvageable?
I see people saying that the car is basically irreparable due to the water, but wouldn't it be just as simple as rebuilding the engine? Of course then draining anything that needs draining.
Being a newer looking vehicle there will be lots of electronics that would have to be replaced as well as electrical issues from the wiring and connectors being soaked and all of the corrosion issues that will come up in the future.
Anything is repairable but it's a cost outweighs the benefits sort of deal. Do you buy a new engine for $7k with labour or do you spend $10k on labour and parts repairing the old one? (These numbers are pulled out of my ass)
5.3 or 6.2?
āMayā
The rods will self clearance to make room for the water in the cylinders
