We have a Ford rep on here. Have you heard anything about relocating the ECU? I'm spooked to do any deep water crossings.
Same here, so I won't be using my BS for that. If I want to forge water, I'll buy a boat.

Driving routinely in water is hard on vehicles. I used to ride dirt bikes in the Canadian River which is slightly salty. It made a mess of my bikes. I have a 23 BL scheduled to be built next week and I'd like to know where the ECU is on it. Soon as it comes in I plan to slap some 245 Wildpeaks on it and head to Colorado.

Have you both (@Bronclahoma @Alfa 2407) scrolled back to Post #23? (and there is other info scattered around this thread before and after #23). I think all BS models have the module located in the same spot shown in #23. Lots of discussion about relocating but just talk. And there are other things subject to potential water intrusion discussed in this thread and in other threads so a search is needed to locate that discussion. Some people experienced damage when crossing “deep” water and others did not but no way to know how long their vehicle had been in the water since that info wasn’t reported.

Or are you referring to something else?
