FYI, the fan belt, which should normally have 1/2" of slack in it, is supposed
to be loosened further for deep-water fording. This should prevent the fan
belt from cutting into the radiator.

<< Also, be careful driving in deep water with a flimsy radiator cooling fan.
Many an expensive radiator has been trashed by a fan strike as a vehicle
plunges into deep water at high RPM. Even boosting the revs while in deep
water may cause the fan to bend forward as water is thrust to the rear,
ripping a big circle in the back of the radiator.
Just my 2 cents worth...
