how bad is it???
Today I got in my truck and it drove really bad. It was misfiring/ backfiring. I got it home and pulled the plugs and # 2 cyl has water in it. Is it a cracked head/block? Gonna take it to the dealer tomorrow. I hope it's not to bad.

Re: how bad is it???
I got it back today and all it needed was a tune up. It must have happened when I cleaned the engine a few days ago. I had a bad spark plug wire and water got in the plug tube and fouled the plug and the wire.

I'm really glad it turned out O.K. Had me worried for a little bit.

Re: how bad is it???
I was really sweating the fact it was going to be a warranty job. And I have a gutted cat, header, intake (home made) s/c not inspected by the dealer ( which I installed). So I'm really glad it only needed a tune-up. Made it out the door for $150. Also disconected the idiot light in the dash. They never mentioned a word about any of it.
