I can only imagine what some of this guy's DIY projects around his house looks like. Amazing what car parts you can find in the plumbing aisle at Lowes

 

 

 

 

 

I hear ya.

 

Those are Google pics, by the way.

 

If I did build one though, I would probably design it to have a "water drain" with something similar to the float that a shop vac has. I would also point the intake backwards, despite any possible low pressure zones that might be created at high speed.

Between the cool stickers, and the sewer waste lines, more invested in those that the truck. Oh yea, forgot the hole saw that he had to buy to put the giant hole in the fender, and I guess the caulking, maybe some sheet metal screws, plumbers glue, and some dryer hose clamps.

Kind of surprised he did not get a patent on the thing. Sure GM would have offered it as an accessory.

I'm not sure where your headed. I appreciate your interest in my comment about water in the intake, but I do not see the direction that you are going? Are you mocking the person that used water pipes to make a super ghetto cold air intake? Are you saying that GMC should patent sewer pipes? Get me up to speed man. What are we taking about?

Perhaps GM should rebadge it to the Z51 Soccer Mom Platinum Edition

 

But in all seriousness, thank God GM isn’t a player in manufacturing of first responder emergency use vehicles.

You don't know about gmfleet.com, do you?

Crossing a stream in a swamp once, water splashed over the hood and onto the windshield!  Made it to the other side no problem.  Thankfully she wasn't in the deep part long enough to flood the fender and air box, came up sputtering some but still running.  I was seeing dollar signs!

 

Another time, truck fell off the top of a flooded rut onto her side, water almost came into the open passenger side windows.  Powered out of that too without only my pride bruised again!  LOL
