hello guys. im from the philippines and the month september hit our country with a powerful storm. my expedition submerge. im dyi it now.

1st remove the electrical on the dashboard. cleaned it with wd40 and cleaning components. everything is cleaned

2nd remove the spark plugs, drained the oil, fuel

3rd remove the water from the piston by enganging it so the water splash.
but still it has some water. suck it with my compressor.

4th compressed the piston with air. and put back the fuse panel under the dashboard so i could start it on the ignition key. the 1st 8 times i cranked it works fine but when i tried to crank it again it wont crank anymore. do you think i should remove the starter and check it for cleaning and repair?

btw i didnt put the plugs for now because it stil have some small water :D

thank you very much guys

Have you tried jumpstarting it? Maybe the battery is too weak. You'll have to drain the differential, trans, and if it has 4wd, the transfer case and front diff.

thanks for the reply sir, not yet but the battery im using does start on cars. and when i tried directing the starter to the positive terminal the engine cranks, it is 4wd i checked the crankcase of the tranny no water was inside and im goin to check on the differential in the morning. do you think i should remove the starter and check for corroded parts? thanks again
