Puddle problems
I've only had my 4x4 3 weeks now and have twice experienced the following when running through standing water. The tach starts to oscilate and the truck starts to hesitate. I'm not running top speed through 2 feet of water, but didn't feel I need to slow down when running in a couple of inches of water. Any one else experience anything like this or have any idea what it could be.

I had a 93 thunderbird that would do the same thing--to the point of cutting off. Water was getting inside the distributor cap and shorting out the spark to some of the cylinders. I also had a frayed spark plug wire that I didn't know about and the same thing was happening there. The wire was close to block and the water would bridge the gap between the block and the wire allowing it to short.

No modifications so far on the truck, I thought I read awhile back on the forum about some type of electronics situated near the drivers side door on the bottom that was subject to water problems.
