It's pretty easy to do. Just buy some rubber fuel hose (you'll need 3 ft total) and you'll find one vent on top of the automatic transmission, and on the front and rear axles easily, I looked all over and couldn't find one for the transfer case, but I'm sure it has one too because Fstop says it does, but I'll be a son of a gun if I can find it. I secured the top of the hoses with a J clamp and sheet metal screw to the underside and filled around the screw with black high heat silicone. As has been stated driving in deep water is VERY DANGEROUS, hard on components, wheel bearings, and electrical connections, and call me overly safe, but I keep a pair of personal fotation devices in the back.
You're right Newbie, I have been busy cutting and splitting firewood for the winter. I bought a vented wood heater for the den and hope to save on heating with two cords of wood. One cord from last year and this cord to be used as late as possible after it dries. I had a friend that almost burned down his house putting a wood heater in the garage - flames and gas fumes don't mix! First time in a long time I've missed my pick up, hauling around wood! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
forgot where the transfer case hose is, guess i'll have to look for it again on the vehicles we have at work.

fstop, how is the hand doing? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
thanks for asking. getting better and next thursday (hopefully, i will have the damn pins removed). the pins seem to be causing more problems now that the bones have started to heal. still hard to type, and screw upper case type.
i will now offer some wise words on how not to screw up your hand.
1. be careful where you place your hand in an engine compartment when lowering an engine, attached to a hydraulic engine hoist,...i highly recommend somewhere other than between the engine mount and the engine mount frame bracket
2. make sure the guy controlling the hydraulic valve understands three things....
1. how sensitive the knob is when turned to lower the engine...
2. "let it come down slowly," does not mean, open the valve all the way and watch as it crashes into the engine compartment...
3. the guy with the crushed hand will not be one of your pallbearers, which you would have needed if he had not been pinned between and engine and a frame....
