Some guy from Drum put his pickup in the Red Deer River, looked about the same as the picture above, happened the day before the cold spell,5 days later and $5,200 it was out,took a Cat and a flat bed winch truck and lots of chainsaw work,not sure if its thawed yet or running,one would think with flowing water that the silt would pack in every orifice possible.He may not be so lucky as draining the water and oil. Also possibly looking at some hefty fines from Environment Canada!

ive seen it first hand , water was intaked through the air box and like everone else says water does not compress. any way bent 1 rod allmost 90 degrees , all we did was put a new rod and new piston for peace of mind and it ran fine for many years after. sometimes you get lucky sometimes you dont. just my 2 cents cub

Sorry guys, I find the talk of engine damage and pistons interesting but if I was in that situation the only thing I would be thinking about is getting my butt out and then helping any others that might be with me. Vehicles can be replaced.

Who really cares if it was a company truck or farm truck or whatever, the main thing is the people got out and no one was hurt. These things do happen, so lets not make light of other peoples problems, just be thankful it wasn't yourself. Lets hope it does not happen to anyone else.
Just my 2 cents...

Truck thru the ice
I work with the guy's wife and it appears the damage is minimal. A security module and then draining the fluids. A bit of dehumidifying and a thorough inspection. Some body damage.

There are some simple rules when driving on a frozen lake.
-Make sure the ice is thick enough.
-Drive under 15kmh, going faster actually causes waves to be created under the ice and pushes it ahead of the vehicle causing ice with nothing underneath (water) and making a weak spot.
-Seatbelt off
-window open,and or door unlatched.
-Stay away from presuure ridges and large cracks.

Buddy's licence plate reads "NO ICE" not because of drugs!!
He went through the ice a few years back with a new truck.
OUCH!
