    I took my truck through some thick mud last night. The whole night and part of the morning the truck ran great. It was after i washed underneath the hood the truck started bogging down and seemed to be misfiring. I had this problem on my old nissan and it was the MAF sensor which i replaced.
    Could there be another possible issue? Upon start up the truck has a really rough idle:confused:, however The problem seems to correct itself after going 5 miles or so. Check engine light came on but i have yet to read the code. Thanks in advance for any help

    Did you check to see if the air filter is wet?
