most people think you can just snorkle the engine and be done but thats not true

you have to seal EVERYTHING that can go bad aka tranny
unless you like changing the fluids

but just a heads up and btw search some on it

hes right, milk jugs (gallon) work well for altenator, and also fuse box. Use ABS piping and you don't need any piping w/a bigger width than 2.5 in. Use a lot of RTV sealant.
oh and google

Don't forget to seal the electrical either. I would also run my vent lines up higher as well.

the milk jugwould be more of a splash guard rather than water proofing right

not if you seal it up with lots of ducttape and rtv

He has a lot to do if he wants to submerge the jeep in water. It was more a splash gaurd but with the right tools (ducttape and rtv) i am sure that would keep some water out. Just depends how much water he is talking about crossing...

Is there any problem with heat when you seal up the alternator like that? those things have vents, i am just picturing that being something you do right before you go in the water.
