I live in the DFW area.
A couple weeks ago we had some heavy rain, flooding.
There is a small city lake that commonly overflows when it rains.
The water was up over the road by about 6" I would guess. The city had blocked it off but people were driving around the blocks.
It was OK as long as you used caution, the water was standing, not flowing.
Then here come 3 4x4's, wanting to play!
They were charging through the water, making a big splash. They kept at for a while, one finally stalled in the water. They were all standing around it with the hood up. Finally got it started and out of the water.
It sat there running for a while, blowing a huge cloud of steam and smoke. Obviously it ingested water.
Finally most of the steam stopped, but the exhaust never fully cleared, looked like 1 cylinder was still puffing.
I suspect that little playtime made some diesel shop a lot of money!
