Puddles?

Will going through large puddles at 20 to 30 mph hurt anything?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-Apr-02 AT 01:22 PM (EST)]your wax job!

honestly, be careful kicking up water... if your intake sucks it in you could end up with problems..... i have heard a few horror storys regarding water taken through the intake leading to bent rods... which ford will not warranty if they can figure out you took a "water" hole too quickly.

I'm Supposed to wax it?

I haven't waxed it since last September. Winter isn't over here yet.
Supposed to snow again today or tomorrow.

DANG! That's precisely why I refuse to move to Alaska despite all my wife's assurance that it isn't "that cold" up there.

Driving through puddles shouldn't hurt anything. You'd have to slam into a small pond to start breaking stuff IMO.
