okay so i was out playing in mud/puddles behind some factory today and sucked in a bunch of water.

truck never died but the filter was soaked, replaced it and it got better but the truck still has NO power.

then, while lookking at stuff I broke the stupid plastic t-fitting on the heater hose so after a mouthful of coolant i babied the truck home. backfiring like hell.

did i just pooch my truck? lol I plan to replace that t fitting, and pull the plugs tomorrow morning.

no water in the oil, due for a change tho.
 
You could still bend a rod and not have it stall out on you. Get the coolant issue fixed real quick. You can pull the plugs, might not help too much but you have a cylinder not firing properly with water still left in it...

At this point you may want to consider a compression test?
 
pull the spark plugs and crank it a couple of times. check your plugs too. definitely do a compression test on the cylinder that spooges the most water.

you lucked out if you were able to limp it home.
 
just my luck raining like bastard....oh well going out to pull the plugs now
