I will try and get you some pics of it if I didn't delete them. I use the zipper boots since I seem to have to replace them twice a year anyways. I silicone the heck out of them where they meet the axle and then use rtv gasket on the outside of the zipper since it is stretches better and won't...

I checked by pulling off the covers of the boots and not a drop of water.

Well yesterday I got to spend a good amount of time in the water. I had it up to the top of the tires (395's) and drove it around more today and checked fluids. As I expected there was absolutely no contamination. Once I get it routed up higher I will try it to the top of the hood and go...

If the trucks are made and fully capable of going through deep water, why do so many people discourage it? I blew axle seals just getting them wet. That is why I am plumbing their vents and such up high and adding pressure to the system to prevent problems. Why would people not take them deep?

I am definately not adding any electrical stuff to run my system! It will all be manual shut off ball valves and cables!

I will keep the pictures coming of the additional things I add on and how I can figure to pressurize the system. Can't wait to send pictures of it deep in the water!

Yeah, I connected the air compressor to the back of the air box. I used 1 inch heater hose from Napa and a couple hose clamps. The axles, t case, and transmission are routed to the red filter but are getting rerouted to the top of the snorkel. I hope I don't need scuba gearr but can't wait to...

Ok, here are a few pictures of what I have accomplished so far. I had the snorkel made yesterday. The axle vents, transmission, and t case have been vented to the fire wall (but now I am going to take it to the top of the snorkel). Also I ran the compressor over to the air box. I still have...

I will add some pictures tomorrw of all the things I have done. I am aslo going to pressurize the central vent system with 1psi hopefully by the end of the week and will continue adding pictures.

Also on pressurizing the transmission do you pressurize the vent that is on top or at the plug at the bottom of the bell housing.

What can be done with the crankcase breather? Do I need to route it up higher or tie it in witht the air system or is it a concern? It comes from the top of the valve cover and comes down by the turbo.

Ok, so I have done my research with previous home made fording kits and actual surplus ones. I just want to make sure that I have covered every aspect to take my truck in deep water. I started out with new axle boots and silicon to make them water proof. I then added the central vent system...
