don't know, can't really say imo, without having been there.

Thats why i wanted to know if it died himself or if he shut it off and it wouldn't start later.

I gaurantee you he wasn't driving through there slowly. I'm sure the water was over his hood when he was going. Besides who knows what kind of hole he drove through. Those things suck air right behind that headlight.

pull the spark plugs spray some WD 40 or some other kind of lube into the cylinders crank it over a few times to flush out any water clean the plugs if needed and put them back in try to start it and hope for the best.

also pull you distributor cap and spray it with some WD 40.

X2. You'd be surprised what folks will do to a rig left out unattended.

Just because the truck went for a swim, that doesn't mean it is dead. You have been given some good advice, to repeat, drain the fluids, pull the plugs, WD40 in the cylinders, crank it over.

My buddy sank his truck in the river one time and we got it running again. It wasn't quite the same but he still drove it for a long time afterwards. Good luck.

Pull the plugs out and then crank it over. Make sure you have a buddy stare into one of the spark plug holes though to see if anything comes out. Change the oil and get any water out of the airbox and intake. Change the air filter.

Fire it up and start listening for it to knock. Start saving for a rebuild.

I can't say whether you are stupid or not because I haven't met you but I'm going to bet you're young. LOL!
I wouldn't stare into it...Have you ever seen the videos of water screaming out the spark plug hole when they get a lot of water in there and turn it over?

I doubt it's dead, but you need to get back to it. Rigs sitting around out in the woods here get torched, unfortunately. Seen it a dozen or more times. And if you think that you Canadians are more decent than folks in the Southern US (known for their hospitality), then good luck to you. It's a crappy world, and people do crappy things to stuff that isn't theirs. Especially drunk idiots out in the woods.

Did you pull the air filter and see if it was wet? A soaked air filter will stop a truck from cranking in a heartbeat.

Was the distributor wet?

Did you blow any fuses?

Does it turn over at all?

The distro may have been wet, the air intake is in the way of me checking and is a bitch.. I haven't checked the fuses, the air filter was soaked. It almost turned over before it locked up.
