Thanks for all the input and not being too harsh on my fording with a CAI.

 

Too bad you couldnt pay the difference for a hemi. Usually the insurance company makes the check to you. Put some money with it and get a Hemi.

 

i am kinda battling with the same thing about a snorkel... i dont like the looks of the ones that are available now. RR by far is the best looking, but still not my cup of tea...

someone needs to design an in cab version... maybe too loud... who knows... something that routes underneath and possible to trunk area of the vehicle.

 

You are incredibly lucky that your insurance is taking care of that...man am I happy for you, that would really suck to have to pay for those repair costs.

Do yourself a favor in the future though....lose the CAI all together and get yourself a snorkel or a winch; the highlift won't do anything when stuck in water....(you could use it as a winch but not by yourself and it's pretty dangerous)

Good luck with everything and let us know what you decide to do!

 

Dude, CAI and water don't mix, you need a snorkle, and splashing through, that's no bueno. Slow and steady wins the race baby. Where's your head?

 

Glad the insurance company is covering it for you. You REALLY lucked out there.

 

Well some 5 weeks later (to the day) my jeep is running and back in my posession!!!!



Here's a parts list of what they replaced:
1 Long Block ASM, 2 Engine Heads, 12 Lifter Engine, 1 Upper Engine Gasket Kit, 1 Lower Engine Gasket Kit, 6 Spark Plugs. All new Chrysler Parts.

$6423.89 before tax. Thank god for insurance!!!!!!

Runs like new (oh it is)!

 

Stock air box I hope.

 

Get a winch. It'll be a help to you and your friends if they get stuck. Glad you're back up and running.

 

Nope, soon to be removed CAI
