I went through some water and now my truck is idling, and it shut off, but it started back up. I’m trying rule out the damage.

it sounds like you have gotten the air filter wet so I would check that first, here is the location in the images below. Next, I would run the codes to see what comes up.

Here is a guide to help you with that:
