Default 1st gen doesnt like water

ok guys i just thought i would let yall know of a rather expensive past time that i no longer enjoy. i have a 19 dodge i/c 4x4 truck and went to our mud fest and i was easy on it and jsut went through once or twice you know what could that hurt well let me tell you it can hurt a lot so about a week after i was headed to corpus to pick up the head for my sisters pos beamer and my truck started shaking really bad and my brakes went out soo i drove about 10mph all the way to corpus and back home wich is about 80 miles and went through 64 oz of brake fluid and when i got home and took everything apart for the initail assesment i found that my hubs were out i needed new u joints and bearings along with brake calipers pads and rotors and brake lines needless to say it was a major inconvience and it wound up costing me about 500 dollars that i could of used on a number of different performance parts for my truck soo next time a friend asks you to play in the mud just remember what happened to me

p.s. i have 2 best friends and one drives a 1997 12v and he cracked the tranny case and broke the sprag in his transmission and his brother drives a pos ford and he cracked his head soo we all agreed that were pretty stupid for doing this butt hey i guess you have to learn what to and what not to do right

makes me feel pretty dum

500 $$ levi try 1200 $$ for my trans not to mention the electrical problem it also had. Garrett is still mad about his cracked head on his good old 6.9. Good thing is everyone i know just about has an old 6.9 so we will find a good head somewere and with a quick pull of the glow plug swich and mabe a helpfull shot of the spray she will be cladering again.
