Does it turn over? You may luck out. Change the oil. If you get it started, run it for a few minutes and then change it again. Make sure to change all of the fluids. The diffs, trans. (flush it if you can), transfer case, blinker lubricant, etc...

I once ran my car (72 Montego) into a pond. After we pumped the water out of the engine it started right up. I never changed any of the other fluids and I drove it for a couple of years after that. The rearend blew up later but that could have been caused by the burnout.

if u hydro locked yr engine, most likely some or all of your connecting rods are bent, which would involve u taking the engine apart. also electronics dont like water, im guessing you got water inside yr truck, if so yr radio, and some other things may be

If you did not hydrolock the engine you will need at least a complete wiring harness along with computer. The computer in these do not like water and the harness once it has been submerged will always cause problems.

LOL. Yeah, are you friends with any "unsavory characters"? They may be able to help.
