6.2 Water Proofing and Snorkel

Hockster said:

Mine is not a true snorkel in the real water crossing sense but I am drawing my intake air form a few inches from the SVT vent on the drivers side... I bet ya I can go through higher water puddle that most everyone else can...

This is looking through the SVT vent

I would put a screen on the end of that pipe, just to keep from sucking in any of the neighborhood kids

Waterproof your 3rd. brake light first.

Yea I'm still fighting with ford about that! I wasn't any where near the water depths that you guys are talking about. Have you all checked your diffs for water intrusion? Its a really easy way to blow up a ring and pinion.

lol i havent hit the door handles yet (it would make me nervous with the old volant i have) but i have gotten it about 4in past the door line (behind the bow wake) which meant the bottom of the motor was dealing with rushing water.

The nice thing was this ended up getting all the mudd off my skid plate from when i got stuck (a power washer couldnt get it all out).
