Default Power loss engine light on

So we got about two feet of snow in the last couple days. Front of truck was pushing snow, all of a sudden I lost power. Lifted the hood and noticed the air intake coming off the air box has collapsed. Opened the air box took out the air filter and the air was plugged solid with snow. Is this a known problem? Is there a fix for this problem.

Truck is a 2014 5.0 4X4 Supercab

Sounds like you pushed snow up into the air intake and it wet the filter enough to collapse it. You need to clean out your intake and MAF sensor. Make sure no water for in the intake.

Ive seen this happen on a few different trucks. Mainly when offroading or snow plowing.
