will an aftermarket cold air intake have problems treading deep water than the stock intake? i want to upgrade but i plan on offroading a lot and dont wanna risk water being sucked up from a performance intake. thanks.

 

1. Stay away from deep water! The BCM is behind the passenger kick panel. VERY LOW!
2. Look into a snorkel (ARB Snorkel is compatible with an AirDoc) if you still plan on going in deep water.
3. Extend ALL of the Driveline Breather hoses to at least hood level (Diffs, Tcase, trans, etc.)
4. Stay away from deep water! The BCM is behind the passenger kick panel.
5. Stay away from deep water! The BCM is behind the passenger kick panel.

Hope this helps!

 

If you are planning to install an intake, do a little research on "open" types like Volant vs. the "closed" types like AirDoc.

Just splashing thru puddles is risky with the open types

ok thanks a lot for the info guys

 

Why would I want to waste all that effort extending my breathers to the hood level when the bcm is behind the passenger kick panel?

 

talus why wouldnt you? getting water into the diff is a bad scenario same with trans... you might not even know it, but once things start to bad you'll need to pull them and change fluid or worse get them rebuilt. the BCM is low lying, however if it goes its prob easier to fix than the drivetrain, but not by much, you'll want to pull the carpet and possibly the seats at that point... Moral of the post is... DONT go into water that you dont know the depth too! Let your crazy friend with his all too cool Jeep do it...

 

Sorry Dag that was meant to be sarcastic I agree though, I always let the cocky idiot in the jeep go first. Water is bad for everything
