yeah, depending on if theres enough pressure to keep it moving out. eventually the depth/pressure is going to overcome the exhaust. LMTVs also have an electric fan clutch you can disable for water fording

idling maybe not... but moving, running the RPMS up, I'd think there would be... pressure that strong wouldn't hit at 8' unless there was a rage'n current which would sweep the truck onto it's side anyways.



either way dudes are mororns, good rule of thumb, if your head is under water, it's too deep to drive across

Yeah, probably one of many reasons that the truck died.

Hate to have to do the paperwork on that one...

Yeah, had a cop in the cab. Not sure if it was a PAO guy in the back with a civilian, or if the civilian was a reporter/photographer or what. Just saw the big fancy camera that probably doesn't work anymore
