What to Seal

(1/2) > >>

Ok, now that i have been wheeling since my jeep is now very wheelable (nice grammer eh) I have noticed stalling and sputtering on the deeper crossings.

Sooo, my question is what should i seal up and whats teh best way to do it. I heard the silicon spray works good. Any pointers would be appreciated :). Had to get a pull from my boss for about 1-2 km to get the jeep started back up and running but even then i had to keep my rpm's up. oh well.

so i guess im jsut spraying silicon over everything then :p

Brink:
Concentrate on ignition components if you wanna just use silicone spray.  

And the air box (but that would need a snorkel).  Really you may have gotten some water in the intake (careful, not good).  If you wanna be a submarine you need to get a snorkel or make one.   :)

youngen18:
we checked inside the airbox and the intake and it seemed dry so its hard to say. Thnx for the pointers though :)

Brink:
If that was dry then it most likely was ignition.  Spark plug wires, dist(if you have one), coil etc etc.

Here's some good tech on waterproofing in general.

It's writen about a full size but most of it applies to any offroad rig.
