My 06 chevy silverado was stuck in a puddle and

My 06 chevy silverado was stuck in a puddle and water went in the tailpipe. By the time I was pulled out, it would not start and I had to jump in several times to get it to start. When started water came gushing out the tailpipe and now it is making a ticking noise and bogs a little. I've checked to make sure water wasn't in the oil or tranny. I've removed the cover to the fuse box to dry it out. It makes the ticking noise more on acceleration. What could be causing the noise and what can I do about it?

Thats a mighty deep puddle to get water in the fuse box,,,, sounds like you go water in the air intake and bent some valves or push rods,,,

replace the front u joint. I had the same issue with my truck, and I noticed that the front u joint didn't come stock with a greese zerk, the oem replacement does so they wear out fast. by the time I found it, it still looked ok till I removed the drive shaft....It was very close to wearing through.

SOURCE: Service engine soon light flashing on acceleration

It sounds like u got a coil pack going out. Alot of times when your engine is cold or when you arn't putting a load on it the coils won't fail. How ever when the engine reaches operating temperatures and there is load on the coils that is when they are going to break down. my advice would be to get a scanner and see what cylinder the missfire is at then swwap that coil to another cylinder to verify that the coil is defective. If it is purchase another with a new spark plug put it in and let it rip.

Son stuck a waterhose in tailpipe and filled it up with water. now it wont start. it sounds like it jumped time. does that sound right

When you first tried cranking it did it crank slow and kicking back ? If water got in through the exhaust valves it may have tried to hydrolock . If it kicked back it may have jumped time .

Bad battery or alternator. Jump it again and with it running, pull off the positive battery cable. If it dies, its a bad alternator. If it stays running, its a bad battery.

Common problem on the 03-06 Silverado instrument clusters for the fuel gauge to go out. It's usually caused by one of two main problems, either the stepper motor on the cluster's circuit board is going out or the sending unit on the fuel pump is going out.

Drop down tail pipe and try. Sometimes tailpipes are double walled. If you run into freezing water with the tailpipe very hot the inner portion of the tailpipe can totally collapse. I had this problem with a Chevy car twenty five years ago and it took the longest to figure it out. Ran perfect until I ran through the puddle of icy water.
