when i dump into a mud hole it revs high, then bogs down, then revs high then bogs down…even with a steady foot on the gas it bogs down like that…i figured water is getting in the intake somehow or the ignition is getting wet…any answers or help would be greatly apreciated
water is not getting in the intake, if it was it will kill your truck. water does not compress. this means if it gets inside the motor it will lock it up, and if the motor is revving hard it will blow up the motor with some expensive bent parts. There is something getting wet thats for sure, I always take a silicone spray lube, and lightly coat anything that looks electronic, or any electrical connections on the wire harness, and also the plug wires and the cap and rotor. I will spray 5 or 6 light coats the silicon lube dries, but it helps water roll off, so it does not get in the wrong place. wd 40 is crap it dries but sticky and dirt will stick to it and ruin crap later so I use a spray can of silicone spray with the little red straw, I can get where I want it easily.

I dont think it has anything to do with the motor. Is it in 4 lo? Is it in low gear ie 1? It sounds to me that your running it in 2 or 3 and you dont have enough motor to. It sounds like the tranny is going from 1 to 2 and back to 1 and so on. try pulling the shifter all the way down and hold it there. it could popping up when you bounce around.
