Default Help 91 7.3 problem!!!

Just read all about cavitation, think I may be too late!

Have a 91 7.3 IDI with 315000 miles on it. went out the other day to move my truck for the hurricane, truck started, ran really rough for 20 seconds and made a loud bang noise and that's it.

Removed the air cleaner looked into the intake and noticed some water in the intake not a lot but enough.

Previously had replaced the radiator with a new one about 10 months ago, noticed that the coolant level was a little low every time I checked it, thought it was probably just air in the system and added some every time it was low.

Removed the glow plugs to see if I could get any water out of the cylinders but I can't rotate the crank.

What do you think???? Any Ideas!!!!

The oil is black as ever
No water that I can tell
Pulled all the glow plugs and can't turn it over at all
Passenger rear glow plug had water on it.
