Snorkel for 2023 Bronco Raptor?

[m.e.144]

Does anyone have a snorkel for their Bronco Raptor? We’ve had some flooding and we have a river on our property which at times, I have to cross.

As of now my ‘23 BRAPTOR is sitting dead at the dealership with under 2,000 miles, 900 being off-road. I don’t even have plates for it. They think water got into it and killing it. I had to get my CAT 299 D3 to tow it out.

Bummer. Good luck with the repairs.

Unless you got water above your entire wheels water didn't kill your rig. The official water fording depth is 37".

That's what I said, but Ford before even looking at is claiming the engine will need to be replaced 100%.... should be a fun time beginning next week. Do you know of any snorklers for the Braptor?

I've never seen one.

Unfortunately, I see far too many here in dry SoCal "functioning" only as jewelry...

FYI the stupid alternator is below that threshold.

Yeah I've heard of that problem, but it sounds more like water with with solid contaminants. Either that or FMC is outright lying about the official water fording depth specification...

@m.e.144 What's your engine bay look like? I'm unfamiliar with the braptor's layout, but you might be able to use an Everglades snorkel similar to what I did here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...update-completed-water-flow-test-video.69930/

Now I certainly don't have the same engine, but for what it's worth I've had no issues with this setup on my 2.7L even though the Everglades is 2.3L only. YMMV.

Feel free to use me as a resource if you do decide to pursue it.
