I just went muddin last night in my 87 crew cab 1 ton. I hit a mud pit about 2-3 feet deep I hit it kind of fast and it just died. I try to crank it but it did not turn over. We pulled in out and tryed to crank it was shooting water out my no cats cherry bomb glass packs. We pull up a hill and tryed to it the water to come out. after 15-20 trying to crank it. It started. The point I'm writeing this my trucks not running right. My glass packs don't sound right at all. There is a loud sound when get on gas( motor I think) and it's idleing pretty high . If you can help me it would be great if you need more detail let know thank u so much

Pull all the plugs and crank it over. then do a compression test.
-
what would that do
-
Compression test will tell if somthing is bent or broken.
-
It will get all the water out of the cylinders!
-
if you have water in your cylinders, might you want to change the oil too?
-
Can water in the motor cause spark knocks that I hear going down the road
-
If you are driving the truck there won't be any water in the motor other than the coolant.
Did you check your oil? do a compression test?
You could very well hydro-loc a motor with water in the cylinder and bend a rod.
