i would get a drop in K&N and do the gotts mod... exspecially if you get in hairy situations....i have a CAI on my 02... but i dont dare take it off the road... ive always got my 08 in mud and coming through back water... thats why i just got the K&N replacement filter in the stock box.. and as soon as my 60k warrenty is up ill do the gotts mod... jus my 2 cents

^^^ good find ! I run an actual mud truck ( not street legal) and there is no way I would put CAI on it. It has a carburetor not fuel injected with air filter and I have had it suck the filter flat once from it getting clogged with water and mud. I had to construct a shroud around the front of it out of aluminum. I would think trying to keep that out of a CIA would be impossible.

C.A.I. here and not worried, prolly get an outer wear this time around though.



It's just when you start getting into the deeper stuff like 4ft stuff or so, go a little slower and let hp and gear take over... Not momentum, thats what makes you take the big gulp!

^^^^ Thats in water now.

Any other kind of mud momentum is your friend, I guess you gotta now the terrain your in.

Didn't want ya'll to think I was some kind of retard. haha

well see the last two times ive gone it was only like 2 feet of mud and like 6 inches of water and after i went, the service engine light would come on and it would shake, so i took it to an auto-shop and they plugged up the computer and told me cylinder 3 was miss-firing. I had planned to get it replaced the next week, but it seemed to right it self, cuz the next day the light was gone, and the engine sounded and acted fine. It's done this twice sense. So im thinking water just got in the intake or in the engine, so im trying to eliminate that possibility, does that sound right to ya'll?

harley9703

Thats completelyt different... you got water on a coil, or fould a plug and it dried of by the next day. No real way to stay away from that other than keeping out of the mud.

I'm gonna have to find a way to seal, cover, sheild, do something to stay away from that problem myself.

dawgfan54

it cant rly hurt the engine tho right?
