I‘m looking in upgrading my 3.5L crew cab 2004 chevrolet colorado. I want my engine to have more of an aggressive tone. I already installed a flowmaster 40 series muffler on my truck and now I‘m looking into cold air intake systems. Since I dont know much about this I need product suggestions and what will fit my truck. Also I need to know how it will make my truck sound better.
Water does not compress well so the engine would stall. When you are going slow at low rpm, you usually don't damage the engine. Just take the spark plugs out, then crank the car for few times. The water will be thrown out by the piston. Do this for about 3 -5 minutes to get much water out of the engine as possible. Also the throttle body may rust so you want to do this while you press the accelerator 1/4 way down. Reinstall the spark plug and car would start afterward. White smoke would puff out of exhaust for some time, but it should start. Once you got it started and warm up the engine, you might want to change the oil to get rest of the water out of the engine. The worst thing that could happen is when water gets into cylinder while you are driving at high speed. Water would not compress well. So the piston would dead stop and rotation force would be enough to break crankshaft into pieces.
there are limit on Sound so you will need to be careful especially if you live in a city, as you will get a noise ticket. for air intakes look at KE filters, can find at Kragen or any local auto parts store.
