Well I took my two wheel drive mudding, it is stock height stock wheels everything is stock. We were doing good running across this mud pit (about 30 feet long 6 feet wide and about a two feet in the middle) then I tried to go through it. Well I got stuck in the water. I turned the truck off and called someone to get me out. It stayed in for about an hour. Well I didn’t start right off and when it did It wouldn’t idle. Well after it would idle it started shooting red hot pieces of something about of the tail pipe. I pulled the exhaust of at a union and it started up after a while. It died a couple of times on the way home. I checked the plugs and the air filter they were ok. Does anyone know what happened to my truck? Thanks in advance.

Red hot peices - Probibly blowing out your cat (its toast now)
As for your idle issue - did you pull out the plugs and turn it over, to make sure if you sucked any water in - it would blow out?
Was the water high enough for water to get into the intake anyways? (im not familer with the height of a stock 2wd)

yeah its takes air from the right of the headlight, behind the grill.
well i took the exhaust off past a union under the cab and it drives fine now. do you think my cat is clogged and if so is there anything i can do to fix it or do i have to buy a new one? thanks alot for you help. the intake is just behind the grille next to the head light. my plugs are fine and i didnt get any water in the airbox or anything of the sort
alright thanks for your help. now is there anything i can do to the truck to help get throught the mud next time?

convertersexpress.com has a 54$ generic cat for your truck. The shipping is free, but you have to have it welded on. A muffler shop charged me 12$ to weld one on.
If you want it to get through the mud better next time without spending bookoo bucks, give it two inches of lift with the torsion bars and put inch blocks in the rear, and up your tire height and width accordingly.

dont do blocks in the rear since it will lower the truck.
yup, they do.
you could put your axle under the springs, thats 3" approximatly right there. then lift the front, and get some bigger tires.
a locker in the back will help a lot too
