For water fording with an auto trans is the vent tube the only thing we would have to worry about water entering through?

 

Vent tube?

The two biggies are the dipstick tube, which is relatively easy to waterproof, and the vent in the front pump, which is damnably difficult to waterproof. You may or may not have room behind the converter to tap that vent and install an elbow... I doubt there's room there to safely do it.

 

I have a 02 2500 dont know if it makes a differance? The vent behind the bell housing? I guess it would be a little difficult then I guess when I rebuild the tranny I could do it

 

There is about 0.120" of clearance there I believe....

I'd get a boat.

 

0.120" no s%*# that's much of clearance lol so ( besides the boat) any tips on that dam vent then without dropping the trans?

 

Dont drive through water that deep??

 

You can't even see it without removing the transmission, and there's no way you're going to touch it without removing the transmission.

Buy a canoe!

 

Makes sense thanks guys

 

Maybe if you go really fast the water will get out of your way.

 

I personally have tried this approach.. It didnt work....
