Alright, well i went muddin the other day and came across this nice size puddle. got to the deepest part and it came upto the bottom of my doors.(right around 2ft or so) Wasnt till afterwards that i started wonder if it could do any damage! So is it just the air intake I need to worry about, or can it work its way up threw the exaust if, lets say Im stuck and im sitting still for a min. Or if my truck stalls out or something. And aint there a breather hole on the tranny somewhere. Thanks in advance for yalls help. Just tryin to figure out my limitations before i have to find out the hard way!

I just screwed up, Meant to move this to the 2nd Gen General discussion forum. SORRY smoky614 The 1st Gen Ram moderator will have to move it to there for me. Again, sorry.

 

I like to stay out of puddles that reach the cab just because you can leak water into the cab, however I have had water up to the bottom of the headlights with no ill effects while moving.

 

Deepest I've gone is to the bottom of my headlights because of my CAI and no rubber baffling by the radiator.

 

i have had water coming over my hood, but i was still moving and was fine, just made sure i revved the motor a little once i got out. besides gettin some inside the cab nothin else was effected. there is no way the water will make it up ur exhaust and into the motor unless gravity just go ape ****

 

about 2 feet.

risk #1 - water in transmission through top vent (top of transmission) cost=$2000.
risk #2 - water in engine through exhaust valves or air intake. cost=$2000.

 

Also check to see how high the vents are for the axles. Might want to extend them.

 

Alright, well thanks for yalls replies. And I just got a couple of ques. to add on. I got a factory air intake that comes in at the top-side of the hood, so that shouldnt give me any problems unless i hit the water to hard right? And as far as the tranny goes, can i just use a hose to extend it somewhere higher? and to top it off, how do i find the axle vents? thanks for the help.
