Jack and DML,
YES water is a problem. I got my JETII back from JET yesterday with the old
"no problem found" diagnosis. I called and the tech said it probably got
wet and now it is dry... I used dielectric grease around the connector to
avoid this situation next time it rains/I wash the truck. Im also going to
install a shield over the computer to keep liquid water away!

Steve -
I installed the JET module in the R/T this morning before work , and I
noticed the low and mid-range much improved . Throttle response has jumped
as well .
Did you notice how hard it is to get the clips on the JET module to snap on
over the connector on the SBEC ?
With the stock air box in place it was a tight squeeze with the new JET
module . I can see where water may get into the thing around the seals .
You know what would cure that is this stuff that the phone companies use to
seal their lines . It's like this weird silicone stuff that you basically
encase the thing in . It's what those swamp-buggy racers use to seal the
electrical system .
A simple piece of rubber boot may also prevent the water too .
