Cylinder Wash
Yesterday I went through some water and the motor took a healthy sip. It bogged down then when I gave it more power to climb out it studdered and died. A few minutes later it started and was able to walk out in 4lo. The filter was saturated and steam coming from the intake tube.
The truck is back to normal now. I let it idle for 20 minutes and the filter dried out. No apparent residual deficits. I doubt any made it to the engine with the intercooler in the way.
Just looking for any insight anything I may contain want to do now. New filter is already in the mail.

Trey that's hard to really tell what it looks like. If you think it is cloudy or milky looking at all, CHANGE it.
If your axle was warm it may appear over filled. If it was cool that may be some extra fluid in there.
As much as you use the truck I would make sure its good to go ya know!
