Consumer Description

THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM POINTS DOWN AT THE WHEEL WELL, CAUSING IT TO INJEST WATER DURING STREAM CROSSINGS. I CROSSED 3 STREAMS AT SHALLOW DEPTH (LESS THAN HUB HIGH), AND JUST ENOUGH SPEED TO MAKE IT THROUGH. ON THE THIRD STREAM CROSSING, THE ENGINE DIED. AT THE DEALER'S, WATER WAS FOUND IN THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM, AND IN THE ENGINE, CAUSING IT TO SEIZE UP, & NEED TO BE REPLACED.
