Michigan???
hey Fred when we took the air cleaner apart and mud was on the bottom side of the filter. maybe a Little bit of water got in the intake.
the mud pit Fred and i went to was really low compared to when Jim and i went. but still was deep I'm glad i didn't drive through it when Jim and i went.
I have mud caked on the bottom of my truck still. i was looking at it this morning what I'm going to do is take all four wheels off and sit it on jack stands and spray the bottom real good. I have a small noise in the right front wheel that prompted me to look under it, and see all the caked on mud so a good cleaning will take care of that.
i am also looking at duel exhaust with the stock cats but I'm not sure if i can have duals without voiding the warranty.

I ended up having to get my starter replaced. Seal was apparently bad, dealer took almost a quart of mud and mucky water out of the starter when they pulled it.

Yes the one on 6-29-08 was when i backed down into mud hole at the Mounds and had to pull out a Ram Charger that was stuck. I edited that into the video from some video footage taken by Arnie a.k.a. "Big Daddy" from www.wegotmud.com.
As far as the "big" truck, i am not sure which you are referring too. if you are reffering to the 4-door samurai on the k5 Blazer chassis with the 5 foot tall tires. My friend just got that with a trailer. He traded an older sea doo xp jet ski, a Honda CR250 without the motor and an older Durango for the truck with the hauler trailer. Got a hell of a deal. We are going to take it out to the Mounds and or Rizzo's near Port Huron as soon as he get the brakes fixed on the hauler. Told him i will not pull it that far without the trailers' brakes working.

Yeah tell me about it. lol I have a pic of the idler pulley, has a good bit of mud STILL caked inside it. Same for the belt tensioner. If I had the time I would have done them myself but working full time and taking care of my daughter is a full time job in itself. Needs brakes soon so my buddy at the dealership is going to get me his discount on the pads and brother in law is going to help me install them.
As soon as I get the pics off the camera I'll try to post it.

Anybody local to greater Detroit area want to trade my Saleen grille with badge for a stocker + some cash? I am trading my truck in and there's no sense in giving them a grille that does not add any value to the truck what-so-ever. Any grille is fine as long as it's in great shape as my grille is about 4 months old and still perfect. Surround needs to be black though, I'm not going through that hassle of pulling it apart again. Let me know ASAP as I plan on trading it in this week.
