Okay so i recently went playing in DEEP puddles. sucked in a lot of a water now the truck runs like poop.

if it sits it burns some white smoke at start up and is hard to keep running for the first few seconds

and when driving i have NO power at all.

I get random backfires and times of even less power.

I'm pretty sure i blew the head gasket....sound about right?
