Yea pretty sure you sucked in water where it shouldnt be.. It got into the oil so the water went in somewhere.. I would tear down an dry out the keg an tb.. Then look at the heads an such.. Water was in there an the more it is run with it in there, the more expensive the replacement will be. Electrical **** should be dried too. Get some electrical connector cleaner.. You soaked it for sure.. Be smart an tear down an dry. Motors arent cheap. Gaskets an time are.

Alrighty finally got the upload thing figured out! Here is a picture of what I did, now the engine cut as soon as my momentum ceased and water ran up the exhaust it is dual dumped behind my cab so i am pretty sure the initial impact displaced enough water as it to not be sucked through the CAI however when something blocks the exhaust the engine should choke and die, which it did. Now the engine runs and i have driven it *like a retard* a little bit before i did the oil swaps and it had some power but it was still like a a misfire, so shouldn't it just burn up any moisture in the tb? if there is any? I m gonna go out tommorrow and flush the motor a couple more times change the diff oil the tranny oil and the tcase hoping all this will just burn out, heh I ll find out I guess.

Alrighty got the im off have a bunch of sludge in it, I ve flushed the engine 2 times with oil/cleaner, My question is what is the best thing to clean the lifter valley out with? Brake fluid? Paper Towels? etc.
o yeah also is ok to crank the motor with the im off? to see if i can get the water to come out of the pushrods?

I would pull out all the muck you can and then use red shop soaked in oil.
You don't want anything in those lifters, pushrods, and cam bearings but oil. You don't want to push the oil off or out of those parts with cleaners, you also don't want to get foreign objects like paper towel bits in there.
