PK pala... hehe perv! hahahahah

oo nga pala, what happens when you shift while fording? papasukin ba ang clutch fluids ng water?

**pajerokid** · August 25th, 2004 12:48 PM

Hehehe. Simpleng manyak lang po ako... hindi garapal. Napabuti naman ang pagkasibak sakin dun.

Jed, never shift while in the water.

naalala ko rin noon..turn off your Aircon. pagnaka On kase umaandar yung condenser fan hihigop ng tubig yun papunta sa engine.

far as i know, di kailangan mag high-rpm pag tumatawid ng baha, kahit ma-submerge na yung exhaust tip.

just put it in 1st gear, and proceed slowly into the water when the car in front of you has successfully traversed it. maintain a steady pressure on the throttle, keep the rpm steady at <2000 rpm (resulting to a speed at about 5 kph or something).

don't step on the clutch, or worse, slip the clutch. if you do this, water may enter the clutch assembly and you'd have a greatly sliding clutch. don't shift gears too until you get out of the water.

for automatics, just put it in 1st gear and cross slowly, keeping your foot off the brake. automatic transmissions are more water-resistant than manual gearboxes.

but still, crossing floods should be a last resort. too many things could go wrong by crossing -- diffs could get contaminated by water, for example.

driving a ford ranger pinatubo 4x4 on a saturday night, with heavy rains last 2002.

coming from makati ayala ave going to the fire station at the corner of ayala and buendia.... left ako dun.. diretso diretso.. pagtawid ko ng pasong tamo, since gabi na at ang lakas ng ulan, di ko gano makita yung daan.. tahimik naman walang dumadaan na ibang cars.. so sige sugod... baha pala..

i thought to myself.. okay lang.. 4x4 (=16) naman ang dala ko.. so no need to worry... nagulat na lang ako nung malapit lapit na ako sa may flyover (intersection of buendia and south super highway) na umabot na ng front hood yung baha at na cover na yung headlights ko!!!

no choice na ako but to continue on... hanggang sa bumabaw uli hehe.. wala naman damage sa pickup.. aside sa mga sumabit sabit na basura, yung headlights pinasok ng tubig... that's about it... hanggang ngayon going strong pa rin yung ranger... mechanically wala pang sakit ng ulo... mga gasgas at bangga lang sa kaha...

i'll never forget that night... hehe...

before in batangas may baha kami na nilisob since kala ko naman mababaw lang and my dad said na derecho kami so we proceeded not knowing na ang taas pala nung isang part. Nakita na lang ng mom ko yung water eh nasa may window na, para kaming nasa aquarium

sa takot ko todo apak sa accelerator and fortunately di kami tumirik. sobrang basang basa lang yung loob ng car nag linis kami ng interior ng di oras.

dito naman sa metro manila hinatid ko yung firend ko who lives in Malabon. Gabi pa naman malay ko ba na sobrang taas ng baha dun eh wala pa ko 1 year na nagddrive nun. buti na lang di tumirik yung car. i had to spend the night in their house kasi di na ko makauwi.

one more baha experience when we brought our brand new Corolla GLi sa Pangasinan for break-in last Nov.2000. May part sa may Tarlac na super lalim yung baha kasi bumabagyo nun (signal #2), matraffic nun tapos yung BMW 5-series na sinusundan namin biglang nag stop, yun pala, pababa yung daan, no choice kami, pero di naman napasukan. Nabinyagan yung car namin nun, hahahahah!

way back about 14years ago bumaha sa MM; kahit karag-karag na ride can't afford non;

galing akong navotas as a volunteer for ONE YEAR in one NGO immersing with squatters woes & helping out lessen their plights..

meron din palang malaimpyerno dusa kahit basang-basa kana sa ulan at baha..

umalis ako navotas alas singko ng hapon dumating ako sa manggahan pasig alas tres ng madaling araw!

asar si commander..pano, committed nako at least i'm just proving to anybody kaya kong lumusong sa ganitong sitwasyon at maipaabot ang aking makakaya sa kabutihan ng mga kapos sa ating lipunan..

hindi nako umulit after my involvement lapsed with the NGO..bigat talaga pero masarap ang pakiramdam makatulong don sa mga nangangailangan..

i may have to visit this colony if given the time and just say hello to them.. after all ok naman samahan namin..
