No worries man. Just figured it wasn't going to help this guy any. LOL

Good info for others who might run into the no start issue.

I sold the truck and the guy who purchased it has since then dropped a 12 valve cummins into it.

So now would be a good time to buy it back from him.:ylsmoke:

Okay... get your trusty can of WD40.....

Pull all connections involving the ignition, one at a time, and spray them with WD40, or, CL220(if you can find that). and give it a whirl. THEN, add dielectric grease to as many electrical connections as you can.

I am NOT a fan of WD40.. but, for this, it works pretty good....

If that doesnt work, check your cam position sensors, and/or crankshaft position sensor....

A bit of trivia... the WD in WD40 means "Water Displacement". Developed for missle silo use originally. One of the useless things I keep in my head for some reason. Here is a link if you are interested. http://factsbuffet.com/facts/what-does-wd-40-stand-for Sorry to hear about the truck..

You guys must move faster than I do. From wheeling with a water crossing to sold and engine swapped in 8 days? That's fast.

:hehe::hehe: Look at the dates of the posts... they are almost a year a part. :elkgrin:

I agree, 8 days would be some record for that type of engine swap. :Wow1:

I wish it would only take one day and cost a dollar.

Just to inform anyone that might have cared. But i did lose the engine. The water had cause one piston to seize overnight, when I cranked the motor over I snapped one of three timing chains on the 4.7. Thus i eneded up smacking almost half the valves, and the cylinder walls were toast. I sold the truck and the guy who purchased it has since then dropped a 12 valve cummins into it.

I'm not doubting you but I'm wondering how this is possible. If the engine ran when you went through the crossing and ran great after, then there wouldn't be any water in the cylinders to hydrolock the motor. I could see if you started it up afterwards and then it suddenly stopped, that would make me think that there might've been water in the intake box and when you restarted the engine it sucked some in. But since that didn't happen, I'm stumped how it ran great afterwards and then wouldn't start the next day?

And three timing chains? What a nightmare...

I think that over night the water that was in the IM and the intake itself may have settled inside the engine or atleast into the intake ports on the head. Lately I have been losing my mind wishing I still had the Durango oh well I guess, time for a new build, getting tired of wrenching on Hondas and not being able to wheel.

This is funny, now before you say anything but in my Hondas my buddy and I together can do a full drivetrain swap, out, in and running in less than six hours. But then again it is a Honda. If only they werent cheap and stupid fun to drive. haha
