wont go into gear and maybe bent frame, need help!
saturday, coming home from the vermonster, me and kyledm18 decided to hit up a trail that was on the way home. long story short, my truck got buried and had to stay the night. sunday when trying to get it out, it wouldnt go into gear. got it out, checked the clutch fluid and it was empty. filled it up and it still doesnt work. drove it down the road to a gas station and noticed that the driver side rear corner of the bed sticks up higher then the rest of the bed. i think my frame got bent from being yanked on. also my parking break and abs light are on.
what do you think might be wrong with my clutch? and is it possible that my frame could be bent? and why would those 2 dummy lights be on?
this is the only picture i have. its from my phone. kyledm18 has a whole bunch on his camera.

that is crazy holy crap. all i can say is wash it and start looking around you seem like a smart guy do you have BL if you do maybe check to see if you blew a block or broke something did you yank on it hard enough that you would bend the frame or who knows maybe your suspensions is just a little off from being parked and flexing all night i know mine did when i had it stuck in a swamp

the clutch worked just enough where i could start it in gear and it wouldnt move. i drove it out to the main road and had it towed back.

It's happened enough I would expect folks to know: when you're buried that deep yanking on it is a bad idea. Slow removal with a winch where you can control the pressure is really needed.
Sorry that happened to you and it may be bent.
Check your wiring to the rear diff and front axle for the ABS sensors, and make sure your parking brake can return fully up. You may also have damaged a brake line and have a leak so check the master cylinder and see if it's going down.

if it sat in mud/water like that over night you need to pressure wash that whole thing down and get it clean. then change all the fluids
