Can An H3 Go Thru Two Feet Of Urban Flood Waters..??

[Desert Dan]

Sounds Fun!!

Did any Prius owners ask you for a tow? That would be a good time to make big splash.

I hope is was rain water not sea (salt) water.

if that was a question, then yes 2 feet is no worries. I've gone through over 3 feet before, but I wouldn't reccomend it because it only takes one time to really screw chit up

Yeah like having water sloshing around on your floor..

I did two feet plus in my H3 just outside of Dillon during the great Colorado storm of July 2005 when they shut down I70. It's a great feeling! That's when Fstop told me about it being a good idea to raise the vent tube on my automatic transmission, since it's the lowest vent that can get water in it on the '06 H3. I got a little carried away in Osage Creek one year in deep water, and no problems until I stopped and found the starter was wet. Got a little water on the floor from that one. Sat for a while and it started right up.

I wonder if they have rasied it on the 07 H3...like mine. If Not How hard is it to do..??

The vent tube for an auto trans comes off the trans at the rear left side of the trans, follow the left side of the trans upward, and is attached to a bracket on the top of the trans at the shift selector bracket.
Rear axle goes to the left side, and up to the frame.
Front axle goes to the right side, and is attached to the right of the radiator to the radiator support.
Transfer case???? Do not see any mention of this in the service manual, and crawling under our hummers in the rear, due to the shield I can't see the routing. Has to be one.

I ended up using a marine clamp and 18 inches of fuel line to raise my transmission vent. I'm not sure if they changed it after '06

It was probably mostly rain water but I'm sure there was some salt in there. But on the way home off the Island I drove thru some deep fresh water streets to avoid some other stalled compacts.

So..I think the 3 went thru a fresh water chassis rinse cycle...In fact some guy in a Chevy Suburban rolled his window down at a light and said that this weather seperates the men from the boys when it comes to rigs ....
