Pretty bad cherokee problem, need some help
Hey guys how's it going, first off I'd like to say I love this forum and have been trolling it for a while.. The other day stupid me drove through a bit of a deep puddle(which turned out to be somewhat of a lake). And I flooded my truck pretty badly, the puddle was roughly 3 feet deep. Since then I had some water in the rear cylinder which was drained on extraction of the truck, I've done an oil change and also changed the tranny fluid. Basically my truck is running horribly, very rough idle, running super rich and occasionally stalling out.. But my main issue is the fact that my transmission is shifting improperly, when I put the pedal to the floor I'm shifting at around 2800-3000 rpms. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

All of the fluids have been changed as if yesterday, but I'm thinking its a sensor issue due to the fact of how rich she s running. It was so rich that the exhaust was burning my eyes. I'm just hoping someone who has had the same issue will chime in, and I still haven't had the truck to the shop to read the trouble codes yet(doing that after work today)

I swear to God if anyone ever invents a device that "reads" the depth of a mud hole/ water hole you're about to enter, they'll sell a million of em, providing they don't cost a fortune.
Kind of like a depth finder you use for fishing, except this would mount behind your grill or on the front bumper.

That's what I do, use a branch to check depth. Used to do that while backpacking and having to ford a creek. Now, I do it if I am unsure of how bad it is.
