Need Snorkel Advice

[Jason_25]

I am shortly going to start work on a cowl-induction snorkel for my truck (from the air vents, not the hood), and I have a question about water getting in there.

If the engine is pulling from the cowl and it's raining hard outside and rain pours in there will the engine take in water and hydrolock? I'd rather not go through that again and it sort of defeats the idea of the snorkel in the first place.

Thanks in advance for any input on this matter.

this is gonna sound dumb, BUT, is the cowl the black peice in front of the windsheild?

yeah it sure is.

um you can get like an air filter to go on top of the tube to keep MOST of the water out. but i dont know.

That's a really good idea, hadn't thought of that. If there is enough room I can always mount my air filter inside the cowl, but still I am afraid of water getting in there.
