• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Starting 2012 RT sm5 after water submersion

Yikes...!!

Where to start....was it running when submerged..?? first off you need to dry everything real well. I would remove the muffler and drain it I would also remove the plugs and turn the engine over by hand...check the battery may be shorted out..check all fuses. Drain the oil and change it and the filters. After you get the battery in turn her on and see what works. If you get all systems up put the plugs in hook her up and give it a try...good luck:dontknow:
 
just jumped it with my truck. went around the block. all seems well. 3 restarts and things went smooth. thanks for replys.
 
:shocked: I'd plan on pulling all of the wheels off, and replacing the bearings.
Next: the front A-arms would get new bushings
The swingarm, and lower shock mount would be next.

If the water got up to where it contacted the pivot points for the shifter and brakes... you know the routine!
Anything that is supposed to move freely, and got doused will definitely need attention.
Any electrical connections that took on water will need to be cleaned.

Good luck, and please let us know how the cleanup progresses! :thumbup:
