After cleaning it up,
get a new intake tube on there (CAI can be found on ebay for less than 100$),
change your fluids again even though he said he already did it (oil, coolant, etc)
Start it up and let it run see if it runs the remaining water out.
If its not making much noise prolly not hurt too bad bc these trucks make a fair bit of noise in stock form.
Do a compression test.
That should get you a good idea of where you are at.

i was going to start with cleaning everything up, cleaning the connectors up, doing plugs and wires, fluids, compression test and starting it. one thing im worried about is oil pressure. the sensor is messed up but usually LOW, but if i hit gas it jumps around like its on crack.
If it came down to pulling heads off id prolly just replace because for cost of a shop going through them i can buy better stock heads on ebay from a power seller. if i tear it down i want to add some hp. prolly do cam too.
what kind of lifters do these truck have?
Damn! They went pretty hard wheeling that thing! Still seems like you got a good deal. Good luck getting it all fixed up.
Big slow mud truck with a TUNE!!!!!!
