Regardless if the guy is wrong or not, the group of you deciding to continue bullying him is rather pathetic. This community wasn't built to be a hub for bashing people or putting them down. And the fact that moderators are joining in on the bullying is kind of shocking to be honest. Show a little class and let the guy make a full of himself, no need to help. If he becomes that much of a problem then remove him from the site and move on.

well said, what they are giving me flack about is, i gave a warning.. my 2.4 has a different air intake from any jeep ive owned. its on the nose. and its designed to maximize airflow.. nothing to stop or divert water from going upwards..
a steep incline coming up out of a low water crossing (my cousins driveway) caused a wave/backpressure.. and a splash i guess ..which went up into my intake.. hydrolocked the engine.. and it almost caught fire.."" i guess im lucky""
i called flaw..and these guys called B.S.
i can take a joke.. and dish em out, but im not trolling around on this forum for an argument, things pertaining to my KL is what im interested in.. ive never had a computer on wheels and i am not a mechanic, so its nice to pick up or give information straight from end users perspective pertaining to universal issues my KL may have.

Im still waiting for the picture of your intake. You never posted it in your other thread.

I've seen and read it all. No need to keep beating a dead horse. You have yet to give photo proof and that continues to fuel their fire. That doesn't give the rest of you the right to demean the guy and bully him, even if he is wrong.

i placed my camera inside the fascia/bumper area.

here it is.

nothing in the void to deflect water.. i clipped the measuring tape to the main intake hole..

posted the pics.. you can clearly its a straight shot into the intake.. back pressure of a wave up against a steep embankment is all it takes, im not saying this event will occur every single time. but it can happen.. and it does not take much at all to hydrolock an engine to my understanding..
other than the intake being in a bad spot on my KL , I love it.. and yes, i will be replacing the factory intake with something that is TRAIL WORTHY that is located behind the radiator as soon as its on the market..
