Ok so once again im here in regards to my 91 5.2 4x4 dakota....
I got a call from a friend to come winch him out of a massive snow drift in his field...
get him all all fine and dandy. then decided to plow through some drifts myself...
afterwards (after the 2nd big drift bust) it started to lose power and acted like it was misfiring when in drive and trying to move... if u put it in neutral and revved it, it sounded and acted fine.... back into drive and it did it again and died... would start wouldnt start, then it fired and continued to act the same. i limped it out of the field the best i could, and about a mile down the road (approx a mile and a half later)
Any ideas, someone told me crank sensor could cause this if its getting wet, unsure about that... but just looking for a place to look...

Did you bend your exhaust pipe and cause a pinch point somewhere, that could cause it to not run well under load (in gear). Or possibly a fuel line bent maybe, at least those are things you can check for free.
If not I would check for spark and fuel. There is no telling what you did by running into some snow banks, could be almost anything.
