Hydrolocked means there is some type of liquid (most of the time water) in the engine that the engine tried to compress, which it couldn't so it is stuck on the compression stroke.

Sounds like your truck is toast.

If that was the case couldnt you just pop the plugs out disconnect the valves and turn the engine over to release the pressure
