Gratuitous as it gets. Mother Nature gets all of the photography credits.


We have had a LOT of rain here in Georgia this spring and summer. I have found myself WISHING for ABS on several occasions. Otherwise, I'm still having lots of fun with the truck.

I cant remember if your 'shaker' air cleaner is an open element.

If yes, does driving in the rain act like water injectors of about 40 years ago?  ;)

I still have one I bought Mid 80's.

The shaker pan has two drains in it and the base is raised under the filter element, so I don't think it allows that much water in. It's actually really fun to watch the filter lid in the rain as the engine vibration will cause water to pool and "dance" around on the lid while I'm driving. I had an issue of literally filling the entire top end of the engine before I put drainage in the shaker pan, and found that the rear most and more active drain is *PERFECTLY* sized for an acorn to obstruct it... so I have had to pull spark plugs and let water out twice, but both times the engine was static, not running.
