The sad part is you are a moron incapable of using a news reader properly. The header indicates you are replying to me but the text is not my post. I will repost what I wrote, see if you can follow along this time.
As usual it appears you pulled this * theory * out of your ass. Where do you get all these bullshit *theories* from ? I can tell you for a FACT you are full of shit, as usual. I have owned four wheel drive trucks for the past 30 years and use them off road quite often. I have owned 4, 6 and 8 cylinder trucks with stock exhaust, dual exhaust, headers, with converters and without converters. I have had them idling in deep water and shallow water at any angle you can imagine. I have even shut them off while in the water. NOT ONCE have I had a problem with water entering the engine through the exhaust. I have been on organized four wheel drive runs where there were dozens of other vehicles in the group. NOT ONCE did anyone have a problem with water entering an engine through the exhaust. I have to call bullshit on your *theory*.
Now the OP stated that he needed his lifters replaced. Now I would like you to explain how water got into his lifters through the exhaust without doing any other damage to his engine ? I can't wait to hear this *theory*.
And while you are explaining things I would also like to know where the knock sensor is on a V-10 engine in a dodge pick up.
