well i tried to cross a rushing river in the trepanier valley and it took my truck side ways and submerged the front and i turned it off and had it tied to the nearest tree in less than a minute, after i relized i was stuck. It wouldnt start but marlin375 managed to get it to work im not sure how but he did it on the spot. any ways it starts and runs but after a short period of driving my check engine light turns on and the engine starts to cut in and out and wont let me rev over 2 or 3 grand and its not right! heeelllp!
heeelpp mee my truckks flooded

Damn dude, that sucks. There's a lot of small things to look over, but hey at least you're running 
.
I found water had traveled throughout many vacuum lines when I ate it. If water got to the emissions stuff there could be enough to make the engine sputter. Say there's a cup in that evaporation canister, it stays put until the motor revs enough to get a sip. If you're running and idling fine the major stuff should be intact.
Got any pictures, or video?

it doesnt idle it some times bounces off 0 rpm and keeps going for a secand then dies right away and i cant drive it when its warmed up because it just cuts in and out and runs horribley : (. and noo i was to angry and never thought of taking pictures lol
Don't forget about trouble code 99...a trout in the air box!
check the tps, afm, sounds like one of them is shorting out.
It's time consuming but I'd label and pull every hose for an inspection. Kind of painting with a wide brush but it's difficult to tell what to check over the intranets. If you didn't have standing water in your cab you got off easy

What was pulled and cleaned so far??
You are aware that your diffs need to be drained unless you routed your vent lines somewhere VERY high. As well, better make sure there is no water in you engine oil i.e. through the dipstick if loose or through a very old PCV gasket.
Are all of your emission lines connected? Did the water cover the entire hood? If so, you could have water anywhere. Could have sucked water back into your gas tank via the emissions caninster ( I think v6's have them).

Start pulling hoses and electrical connections and find where the water is staying... A hair dryer may help.... Good luck!
