it wont start can cover so many symptoms. Need more to go on.

Does it turn over?
does it just click loudly?
Does nothing happen at all.

need fuel air and spark to run an engine. From what you said about water it sounds like you have a fuel issue. Did you purge or clean the system somehow?

like i said, need more to go on.

Probably isn't as simple as this but do make sure the battery cables are tight and clean.

Not understanding the water going through the fuel thing--did you submerge the truck?

Water can easily get into a gas tank. No matter how hard you try to prevent it
