Dodge Repair: dash cluster/computer problems, dodge ram 1500, mud and rain


Question
98 Dodge Ram 1500 2 door 318. Went 4 wheeling in mud and rain, computer went out. replaced and worked for 10 miles but sluggish and went out again. Tried 2nd new computer and NOTHING! Dash instruments will not work. Truck turns over but no start, no instruments. Checked through and through with diagnostics, wiring diagram, etc.
ANY IDEAS? We're stuck and desperate?
