It seems odd that you have never seen a fan sling mud and water everywhere.
This is a common occurrence in the mid-west. Do you live in the desert?

Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
I have seen fans get sucked into the rad when under water, let alone had
the rad stuffed full of mud on 'many' occasions. I have even had to
clean the rad in the bush before I could drive home... Same for the
charcoal canister's air filter. Have had to crack open the gas cap a
few times to get home too. I used to go through 3 or 4 fan belts a year
when I was mud pit running. It also eats fan clutches. I like
snowman's idea about the O-rings and waterproof grease to try and help
seal them.
Strange things can happen when you have a bow wave pouring off the
windshield....

Re: Followup-- 2000 JGC V-8 still overheating
At an off-road rally this summer a WJ hydrolocked because they failed to
follow the line laid out by the safety spotters and tried to set a speed
