Dude. ALL ENGINES hydrolock when they suck ANY amount of water in.
Let's not pollute the thread with arguing

im not arguing. my kj died sucking up water and it turned back on.

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

then it didn't suck up water through the intake. it was an electrical shut off.

no it did. the air box was more like a bucket full of water. it was all the way up to the filter. so ha

 

[Marlon_JB2]

YAWN!!!!!

I need to figure something out with my intake. Hmm.... Anyone ever seen a "custom" snorkel before?

Eh, no, if I do it, It'll look like (censored).

you can hydrolock an engine and fix it on the spot...you just gotta hope it was not TOO much and that you leak it out ASAP. and crank it over yourself to get it going again...if your lucky, no damage...unlucky is a loud knocking (like budke's knocking sound) or not starting at all...

Matt, you might have just been super lucky that you didnt suck any in because Mopar engines seem to hydrolock the most out of any company i know of (as in my buddys dodge ram, ex-gf xj, brothers yj and...)

Hey, any of you punks ever check the bottom of the factory airbox in a KJ? The two drain holes that are there to let water out will also let water in if they are below the waterline. Duh. And if you've got water up to the airfilter, then it went into the engine too. Check where the air inlet is, it's at the bottom of the airbox, as soon as the water level is permitted to get higher than the top of the air inlet, the motor's intake cycle will do the rest and hoover water in quicker than you can react.

TBJ, have you plugged the drain holes in your stock airbox?

MS5490renegade who drives a JK.... how did you clear the water out?

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

They're plugged

There's probably a pound of RTV in that airbox, LOL.

 

[ptsb5a]

So at least you get what I'm saying? Good.

i let it drain. the liberty died when i went through the pond thing (over the hood) i made it out and i was pressing the gas and it wasnt going. it cut off. i tried a few times to turn it on, nothing. opened the hood and looked in the air box, full of water, slowly draining. filter was soaked. gave it a few to drain and fired it right up

 

[ms5490renegade]

i drive a jk because it kicks the shit out of my old jeep

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Nice pic of the Snorkelibby

Looking at all these pics, I really wish I could have made the trip!

Not me, I hate mud.

Looks like it would be a fun place if it was dry though.

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

eyehatetofu, ThunderbirdJunkie hates mud too. But it makes for cool pictures

In all seriousness, the mud at The Badlands isn't as sloppy and sticky as a lot of the stuff in MI and Ohio and Eastern IN.

Awesome picture Tony

 

[HoosierJeeper]

Nice pics!
