One point not covered, replace mechanical fan with a switched Efan, exhaust stack, lots of back pressure, under water.
x2000 on the electrical fan switch. Dont want your fan going through your radiator..

I've heard folks say you'll be fine with a mechanical fan, but I wouldn't trust it. Thats asking for a bad fan clutch. I want an e fan anyway, water crossing aside.


Something else to consider, vacuum hoses. Make sure they are all good and sealed.

Make sure the tube are above the highest water level. You have have to extend them.

My front diff is ran up to the hood on the firewall, Same with my trans breather, my rear diff is ran up and inside the back and tucked behind my interior panels behind my drivers tail lamp. I don't do water/mud, I hate cleaning and replacing parts due to water....
