Good luck with the recovery, I know what you are going through, at least you were not hurt.
First thing, I assume you are not at a location to read this, but pull the spark plugs when it comes out of the water, before you leave the ice and get it into a heated garage, allow it to warm up to the point that it can be touched and not feel really cold.

Hi Jeremy;
Thanks for the info! Got your P.M. and will reply later on tonight. Unfortunately this Ranger had lots of electrical components and switches as it had a hardside fully enclosed and heated cab and tracks. I will try to pull the plugs and do as you said unfortunately the recovery people hang on to the Ranger until insurance pays them. They seem to be really good so maybe they will do this for me... From what I have heard once a vehicle is submerged it is considered a total loss by the insurance company... I guess I won't know until I contact them.
Off line for a while, lot's of work to do now...
Dan
