Those trucks you see fording rivers to that extent are usually diesels.
Look at your O2 sensor plugs underneath. They are known to be a problem when wet.
There is a rubber o-ring that is supposed to be on the distributor cap. Does yours have it?

I figured it out! At least I think so. I turned it on and ran it's for a few minutes. I took a spray bottle and went around and sprayed the oxygen sensor and the wiring to the intake as well as the distributor and the wires around the distributor. It's stalled out when I hit the distributor, especially the wires right next to it. I think it might be time for some new wires and distributor.
Water gets that high from a car wash??
I need to find a new car wash.
The undercarriage spray shoots up pretty vigorously. At least I think that's what killed it. I'm still not convinced but at least it's somewhere to start.
Dam, ya'll take it pretty serious in Wyo.
Is the armour plate (can't think of its proper name) that is bolted to the forward frame missing? This would stop most if not all spray coming up from underneath the truck.

The hole is actually not on the distributor cap, but on the housing, it is so the oil that leaks into the housing from the engine can drip out onto the alternator.
...which lubes the alt bearings
and then drips to the frame and runs forward and downward primarily, but also rearward and downward while in motion, in either case preventing rust.
It is a ballet of genius and engineering.
I don't see the problem.
