He was hauling his boat out of the water.. (water was not even to the bottom of the doors.) and it sucked in water and blew the engine. Apparently on the 6 cyl dakotas the air intake is down in the left front wheel well. anything more that like 9 or 10 inches of water and bye bye engine. Warranty would not cover it.. cost him like $7,0000

brutal...
Why was the front of the truck even near the water? I've never seen someone back their truck all the way in to the water up to their front wheel well to even make that a problem.
