Default RE: 2001 Dodge Ram Snorkel?

For starters, I agree with Rom. If you are in water so deep that you actually need the snorkel to maintain air into the engine (i.e. more then just high splashing water), then you better be running smoke stakes or some other high exhaust too, or it won't matter how much air you have coming into the engine. Also, if your truck is an auto trans, they are notorious for letting water in if submerged for any length of time.. The trans is much lower then your air intake too, so I would be more worried about that then a snorkel.

That said, I have seen several Rams in my area with a snorkel setups. They usually look like a decent kit too, not something someone fabbed up in their garage from things they bought at home depot. Perhaps they are using one of the existing kits for jeeps or other, and then just fabricating the connection to the air hat.

I would suggest posting this question over on pavementsucks.com. If anyone has done something like that and actually used it for what it is intended for, it would be the guys over there. I think we concluded in previous posts that it is ok to reference pavementsucks since it is an all around 4x4 and off-road forum rather then a dodge specific forum that would be competition for this forum (which is not allowed).
