    Auto transmission and water crossings

    I'm Upgrading from my GQ getting old and need some creature comforts, are there any stories or concerns with taking a GU with Auto transmission up to the CAPE, doing water crossings etc? any risk of getting water down the dipstick? Any advise or suggestions appreicated

    Isn't it a good practice to put a loop at the end with the breather facing down to prevent water running down?, that's what I was told and did on my gu

    Great idea growler, I was wondering if there was going to be an easier way to connect them up!

    I've always wondered the same thing, but 99% of the kits and installation of he filters I've seen are same as Growlers... I guess if your breathers are taking in water, I.e. Your engine bay is full of water you may have bigger issues

    I know some of the more expensive kits sell them "water resistant" filters, that are able to delay in the ingress of water but I couldn't justify the cost of this kit
