Exactly...for that truck, I'm sure the air intake is on the driver's side and the snorkel is functional. That's not an I-5 under the hood.

Got an email back from a guy at Tough Country - they didn't do the snorkel but he's going to track down the company that did.

looks gey

Great mod, for a submarine maybe.

Like it alot. Want one.

From what I understand, a snorkel on a Gas engine will not increase the "submergability" of said vehicle. It does however reduce dust intake and bring cooler air to the engine. On a diesel engine you turn said vehicle into a submarine. So it may look gey to some, but to others it could provide more proficient air intake and great looks.

I'll take two please.

Not sure I agree with this. Water typically gets into the engine through the intake. If you can raise the air intake, you can go through higher water than without (but watch out for the breather valves for your differentials and t/c). The entire air intake system needs to be sealed, but it will increase the submergability, and most important give you a higher margin of stupidity when going through deep water to prevent hydrolock.

If you are really careful in your waterproofing, you can fully submerge the engine and still have it run just fine as long as the air intake is above waterline.
