If you have the stock intake the dealer may cover it. Your pics don't show it was too deep, but the speed of entry? Well.....

Lot's of luck to you.

Man that sucks! That is the exact reason I don't go through water or mud holes that look well used. It is tough for most Jeeps to follow through these in the footprint of some mudder with 44's that went through it prior.

Good luck, keep us posted and let us know the outcome!

It wasn't too deep...
Your second picture shows the problem...
You sure you didn't have a plow attached to the front? ...

Ouch. Good luck with insurance on it. It looks like you could have been in trouble even with a snorkel with all that spray and splashing.

Contact Burnsville Offroad. They were giving away new stock engines from hemi swaps. Probably cost a bit to ship, but beats one from Chrysler...
