do you not need an exhaust snorkel for wadding? i notice in the pics that no one has anything for exhaust. | ||

I don't do a lot of wading but as far as I know as long as the truck is running it should create enough pressure to keep water out of the system. | ||

Jesse, If you keep the revs up, the exhaust gas will keep the water out, also, preventing water being sucked into the engine is more important. since you (should) would be in low range when wading, the revs would be higher fo the given speed. | ||

There was a guy in Bloomington, IN that had a Rangie for sale last fall. It had a camo paint scheme, crappy roof rack, home made bumper and the kicker, an exhaust system where the tail pipe made a 90 deg bend upwards from the bumper to the roof line and then another 90 deg bend back. It was the goofiest thing I have seen. I called the guy and he informed me that it was an 87 model that was a very rare, special edition designed for deep water wading. It was "brought in" from England because it was so special. The exhaust was modified because that is how deep it could go. Of course I didn't buy it, but wouldn't that have been so cool to have such a rare vehicle with a special exhaust.  | ||

they are all "brought in" from england...;) maybe this is the prototype for the rangie that was discussed in the "2005 disco spy shots" thread that seals its intake when it hits water so it can run underwater for 15 to 20 seconds...;) | ||

just idle will keep water out as long as the engine is running. I had my exhaust underwater at idle for almost 30 minutes once while I was trying to get myself unstuck. | ||

The trick is to run the exhaust snorkel into the intake snorkel. That way you keep water out, and you turbocharge your engine. | ||

dont truckers have an "exhaust snorkel" on their BIG rigs.......? and ive seen them on big ass redneck fords too.... | ||

I could be wrong but the exhaust stacks on big trucks helps get the exhaust fumes clear of the truck cab and floating skyward. I'm assuming this is to limit running an exhaust pipe the length of the rig and to insure the fumes don't end up back in the cab when the driver is idling while sleeping in the back. And rednecks are just being rednecks... |
