Howdy folks, long time lurker looking for some insight.
I have a '12 w/ 135k miles and it's been rock solid reliable.
Sunday I was out looking for grouse with my 10 month old Vizsla Ralph and we found some mud.
First few rips in the mud were uneventful. Then I buried it up to the windows. Yikes.
I kept it going and made it out, but put the airbox under water (AFE cold air intake w/ open element).
I pulled the intake and cleaned everything as well as I could, and I just changed the oil and filter (which both looked totally normal)
But there is an audible grinding sound coming from the front of the engine. It sounds like perhaps the water pump or another of the accessories driven by the serp belt, but my lizard brain is telling me it's worse
Anything else I could/ should check? Seema to be running fine sans the new noise.
God bless
