Open it, dry it, seal it with silicon, put it back.

If you can drive it for a week, especially an number of short trips and cool off between, the "drive cycles" will help the feshly reset ECU "re-learn" the truck it now finds itself attached to. If does not clear or throws codes, note codes and perhaps that would indicate other things. Did you suck water into air cleaner, MAF, and throttle body?
