i've been going wheeling every week lately. well, this last time out, i took the truck through some water that may have been a bit too deep for me. it came up to my bumber. i made it through just fine, parked the truck, left it running, and got out to join my friends watching others going through. when i went back to my truck, about 15 minutes later, it had shut off. i started it back up, drove about 10 feet and it died again. i checked the battery connection which was a bit loose. after a few minutes of holding the rpm's up, it finally smoothed out and ran just fine for the rest of the day... or so i thought. on the trails, it ran fine, but get her out on the highway, and it's a different story. she's way down on power. going up inclines is a chore. i've got to floor it and i still lose speed. a lot of my electronics are acting up too. the dome lights stay on/flicker. the stereo is doing goofy things like cutting the volume back down to zero, and the screen looking like writing from transformers. i popped the hood and my motor is completely covered in dried muddy water.. the entire thing.
i've got another motor that i could swap in, but i'd like to hit 300,000 miles on this motor before i have to do that. so, what should i check first?
