If the engine is in fact flooded, let the truck sit so the excess fuel has time to evaporate. Then press the accelerator all the way to the floor and leave it there while you crank the engine. If it starts drive it for a while to make sure everything is okay. If it doesn’t start after a few tries there’s probably something else wrong.
