You can see the air intake on the hood..right in front of the driver. Inches from sucking water. I havent been quite that deep on a machine, Yet....

If you would have had a Cummins motor in that tractor.. snorkel wouldn't be needed..you know why..Cause it's a Dodge.. and cause Cummins are the best..

That is a good looking truck!! I had two 7.3s before the 6.0 came out and scared me away. I went with the 04 Duramax that had/has injector issues as well. I test drove one a week or so ago and the power description is right on.

Good luck with her.

Thanks.. so far so good.. really enjoying her.. Drive to Atlanta next week hauling 12k..

Here's the update on the 325 60 R20 BFG's. slightly wider and 1.2" taller. Ride is actually better, I was worried about this. Handling is slightly better, less sway, and whats drastically improved is the loose steering response when going over bumpy road conditions. There is less of that wandering around going over uneven surfaces... I didnt get much of a chance to see if turning radius was much different. Overall I am extremely pleased. Now as to the actual speedo.. @ 50 mph GPS read 51 @ 60 mph GPS almost read 62 AND @ 70 gps almost read 73 @ 80 MPH GPS read a little more than 83... Im going to see what has to be done to get this recalculated at Ford. Will be going in for my flash and oil change, looking forward to that. If anyone looking for some Michelon 275 65 R20's with 2k miles on them.. just pm me..
