its not drying anymore. But when it didn’t it just died when I was in the throttle just cut off driving down the road. Now it’s not doing it. But it’s just looosing power. It will start up fine. Idle and rev fine. But in gear it just doesn’t have power. It won’t spin the tires in the dirt. It won’t get up and go as quick as before. And the oil pressure keeps dropping. Can low or no oil pressure cause a truck to loose power ? I think something’s clogged. I doubt my motor just took a **** all of a sudden. But it’s possible

Didn’t sink it but it wasn’t above my 33 swampers but right below the grill. Long story short it’s stalled and I got pulled out dead weight. When I started it out of the water it started right up and ran fine. Went to gas station to get gas it stalled again. Went down the road and it’s stalled 2 more times. He tranny started not wanting to shift and acting up ( not worried bout transmision because it’s brand new and best part has warranty lol ) but right before I got home my oil gauge droped to 0 and it’s lost all power. Could floor it. It didn’t wanna go how it should. Got it in the yard. Shut it off popped the hood and checked it out. Oil was EVERYWHERE. I’m thinking busted line but not sure. Gonna look tommorow. Any ideas?

Wonder if the cat got wet, and took a dump. You could try removing the front O2 sensor from the exhaust, and see if it drives any better.

The cat was my next thought after asking that question. As for his smiley face he put his message in the post title.
