Scanner will only pick up codes.. Wont pick up crap unless the check engine light is on.. BECAUSE that is the only time the TRUCK even knows what the hell is going on.

This is just a shot in the dark here, but would it have anything to do with not enough air getting to the intake??? Like, if the water shower breifly cut the air supply and chocked the engine out? Like I said, this is just shot in the dark, but thats the first thing I thought of!

You have a number of very important electrical connections along the firewall that could be affected by the water. Not sure what year your truck is, but you have 2 or 3 electrical connections to your PCM that could be affected. There is also the Crankshaft position sensorthat sits at the left rear of the engine when you are looking under the hood. Then you have the camshaft position sensor inside your distributor. any one oftheseelectrical connectionscould be the cause of your problem.
I highly recommend that you disconnect each of these and apply some di-electric grease to the connections and re-connect them. This grease will prevent corrosion and will help in the event water gets into the connection. Use it also on both ends of your wires, the coil wire and the coil connection plug, the 3 electrical connections to your throttle body (MAP, IAC, and TPS sensors), and all of your Fuel injector connectors. I had a weird problem last winter with a bad running truck until I did this to every connector I could find under the hood, and the problem has never returned.
Hope this helps.

Weird story for you, I went through a car was this morning before work. As i pulled out, the truck started making this really loud squeeling noise. It's coming from the serpentine belt or one of the pulleys (probably tensioner or alternator). Belt is brand new from when I did the plenum job, so i'm betting it is the tensioner pulley going bad. Not sure why it would have started while in the car wash, but it did. Weird.

Hope my posting of my problem did not jinx you ! My 99 is quite in that since, but when it suddenly shuts down and I try to get it running it sounds like a small war inside the car wash!! Worry most about screwing up the timing, or blowing my exhaust apartwhen it does this. Have not had time to try any of the great ideas everyone has had. To cold up here also to wash anything anyway. Have a great weekend all.
