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.

Watch out for the electronic and computers. I am not sure is they are all waterproof.

True, forgot about that. It's all solid state, so at least it will dry out & probably work again I remember in the old days putting a plastic bag w/duct tape over the distributor on mud runs to make sure it didn't short out. Then I graduated to silicone. I used to have a 325i and BMWs were known to have their ECM short out going through car washes!! Let's hope hummer has done a better job of protecting parts against water...

That looks great! It needs to be on the other side though like was said.

I've seen guys run their breather tubes into the snorkle. That way the tranny, axles, t-case, ect all get fresh air just like the engine does when under water. Smart move if you ask me.

you f up and take it to the dealer after too much water and a snorkel on your truck, better bring alot of money, they won't cover it.
want a snork get a used H1 for about 35 k.

How many of us honestly are forging 3 foot deep rivers all the time? Worthless mod.

Point opening forward for that RAM AIR effect

Your "hood lift handles" and "logo surrounds" serve what purpose?
