HELP! CAI Sucked Up Water!

MikeUCFL · 04-02-2011, 12:08 AM

Hopefully you're ok! I killed my GSR in 08' via hydrolocking on 408 (all that construction didn't let standing water drain out well). Very sad day for me :\

Before you take it to the dealer...I would suggest to swap back to the OEM intakes. If the dealer sees the CAI and is not mod friendly...then they are more than likely to deny your claim and it will be out of pocket to repair any possible damages. Even more so if you try to have insurance cover any damages.

You should immediately move out of Florida. It is quite obviously not a CAI friendly state.

Yes. I had this happen to my 350. I did more than just get a little water in it. I had to have my engine replaced along with one catalytic converter, one O2 sensor, BCM module, and assorted other parts.

Trust me. I ain't makin' this up. This is why I'm now driving a 370. Three months of Hell.
