3 inches? Man ive driven through 20 inches of water and no issues. Something doesnt add up. Any check engine lights, does it turn over and not start or does it do nothing at all. Need more symptoms to diag from my seat.

I've driven through 2-3 feet of water, slowly, but I've also had to rebuilt a 2005 Hemi back in 2010 due to hydrolocked...

That actually clears it up... He had an remote control Ram pickup that he 'threw' into the water, thinking faster speeds would get it 'through'. No wonder 3 inches of water broke it.
