2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4

My only issue with this truck is that when i get into a good amount of water the truck likes to suck the water up into the air filter then the truck will shut off.  Any suggestions as to how to solve this prob??  

There has to be some kind of breather line or somthing that sucks the water up.  you dont have to even get in to deep either i can just be runing thru a big puddle or somthing and the filter will get wet and pending on how wet it gets it will kill the motor.  so if anybody knows what to do let me know.
-Thanks  

don't drive through water  

Here is one suggestion..... Lift!

and this is what happens in deep water.... this is only 4 feet of water on the trail:


My truck has a homemade 10" suspension lift and 42" tires.  The deepest flowing water I have been through is just under 5 feet and that is the point where the fan is eating water.  If I had an electric fan I could go even deeper.  
Feel free to shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions.  turbosniper1@yahoo.com

i dont know if you still have the truck or the problem but i had the same problem with it shutting of and cutting out after i washed it or it rain really badly. the air fliter box wasnt on the carb just right and the water was run right down the back of the carb,    tighined it up and its been fine for me, ran throght a crab load of water this week too
