I have a question for a friend of mine. I know it's not a Jeep but he was wheeling with me and asked for my help. He's got a late 60's GMC suburban with 33's and around 10" lift (he was stuck REAL bad, I couldn't budge him, took a stinger steered front loader to get him out).
Background: After having some fun in a bunch of mud we were wheeling through some flat land that a small manmade lake had overflowed onto to clean off before hitting the road for home (only about 8" of water). Suddenly his truck nosedived into a deep hole, thankfully the motor didn't hydrolock but he ended up with water in his automatic transmission.
He drained it and a whole bunch of water came out then finally clean fluid drained out. What would be next to make sure everything is OK? Is there any product he should add to help flush it, or should he just do a few fill / flush cycles with fresh trans fluid? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
For those wondering, yes, the motor oil was contaminated with water too, but that's a bit more straightforward than dealing with a transmission and has been taken care of (no more milkshake oil).
Thanks,
Mark
