Arrow Help with...engine ? BOGGING..

So today i was out muddin'..I left the pit where i was mudding and started driving down the road about 20km/hour. i let off the gas for a second, and when i hit the gas again, the truck was still running but it had lost all power. I put the truck in "Park" and shut it off. When i tried to start it a couple seconds later, it wouldnt start, it wouldnt fully turn over. I let the truck sit for a minute, and it finally turned over after a minute or two. I went home and took my Cold-air Intake off, made sure my throttle body was clean (incase it sucked some water into my intake) then took it for a drive down the road. The truck seems like its bogging out a little bit, but smoothen's out at about 110km/hour. I went home again and cleaned the 2 sensors that are on my throttle body, and made sure there was no water around my spark plugs, and make sure that they were tight. I even cleaned out the sensors, and it still seems like its bogging out. Whats going on ?? Any help would be great.. Thanks !

Check all your fluids oil, diffs, tranny, coolant, everything just to make sure you didnt get water or mud into them, you could have a bad seal on one of those that muddy water could have seeped in to. That would be what I would check first.

The computer could be, look and see if there is muddy water splashed against it.

Have you reset the PCM yet since you think that might be it? I would also check for any vacuum leaks.

Either pull one of the battery cables off for a few minutes and reconnect or easier is to find the pcm fuse on the block, pull it and turn your key on and off a few times.

^^^ To add to this, when looking for the PCM fuse, take you fuse cover and look on the back side and find the fuse number and then pull it and take the keys and switch ign on, then off, then off, then off and then back on and leave it on for a few secs and you will get several dings. Then switch it off, replace the fuse and hopefully that will resolve it.
