Default Exhaust and pressure level

Okay so heres my problem. i parked my truck with my two left wheels in a ditch on the weekend, probable a 45 degree angle. left it overnight. next day i drove it ten minutes to work. my oil pressure sensor is all over the place. and i have true dual custom exhaust and it was very loud before. now its barely louder then stock. i have two converters. one on each pipe. but no mufflers. any ideas?

Check your oil.... make sure it isn't water contaminated.

Park the truck on a steep hill, see if you get water out the exhaust.

how would the oil get contaminated with water though? and i drove 350km yesterday so should the exhaust not have cleaned itself out during this time? the truck runs perfect

how deep was the ditch?

Exhaust didn't get crimped down somewhere did it?

Not a chance there is 2.5 feet of clearance between my exhaust and the
Ground. Someone said because I have a failed e temp
Sensor my cats could be clogged?

This is the reason your cats are clogged. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...um-thread.html
