sunk my jeep
i just sunk my jeep and it is not starting up. i had it under the water and the front end of the left hood was totally under water and the front right side was just above the water line. it was turning over in the water and then i turned it off now all it makes is a clicking noise, and ive tried jumping it but no luck, i think i may have gotten water in the airtake, is there any ways of fixing it.

You may have hydrolocked it. Remove the spark plugs and try turning it over again until the cylinders are clear of water. Give it an oil change, too, since you probably got water in the oil.
With luck you will be OK. Since it was running and you turned it off, it's possible that nothing got bent or horribly mangled (water doesn't compress).

ya 4 weeks ago i sunk my jeep and when i towed it out 3 hours later i changed every fluid under the sun ( oil, trans, t-case, and the diffs) and took out the spark plus and turned it over and waited for water to stop shooting out, its ran fine ever since,
but ya check the starter thats a good idea. but make sure to check the fluids for water
