Hi professors, When I'm traveling long distance on the highway and I hit a puddle I notice my TJ I6 looses power and slowly regains power and gets back up to speed in a matter of (I thinnk) several seconds. I say "I think" because I haven't traveled for a few years but am planning a trip soon. The first thing I thought of was the generator needed a cowl but it seem well protected. What may be causing this puddle power loss? Thanks, Steve

While you are IN the puddle, the water will slow you down. If the slow-down is after the puddle, the only thing I can think of is water on one or more of the pulleys causing the belt to slip, but that shouldn't reduce your power..
