Local... mud... say what?

I think the major concerns are air intake, and any axle/trans/diff vents.
 
ok so tomorrows tasks are axle vent tubes,trans vent, air intake, figureout how to waterproof my distributer
 
i race b2s at the local tuff truck event.. tons of mud, water an it doesnt skip a beat.. i ran a snorkel inside the cab an as far as the distributor... CLEAR COAT spray paint!!!! that the wires an the coil have about 4 cans on it an boy does it run AWESOME!
 
i would go with ether maybe.... alot of ppl say wd-40 actually has moisture in it...

just the $0.02 that i've heard too.


also, yes snorkeling everything to the interior of the cab will work lol... big project there though!!

seen a picture of somebody who snorkeled their air intake into the interior of the cab lol... looks funny but serves its purpose i suppose.

Ether will just dry up immediately. WD40 is a petroleum product and is meant to displace water, hence the name... "Water Displacement 40th formula"

i've heard this argument 500 times, and will hear it for the rest of my life.

i'm not taking a side, simply displaying both sides of the argument for OP to decide on.
