I have a 2011 f150 5.0 and that other day hit a low level crossing a little faster the necessary and sucked some water in. I cannot for the life of me get the truck to turn over. Starter won't even engage. Any help would be awesome!

Pull the spark plugs out and try turning the engine over by hand with a pull bar and a socket on the crank pulley bolt. Does the starter make any click sound?

You may have hydro locked the engine which can bend or break a rod or piston. the first thing you want to do is try to turn the engine backwards to free a jammed starter if you can not get it to break free then unbolt the starter if it still wont turn then you probably have internal damage pull the heads and check or start shopping for a engine.
