Need some more info. Can you get any codes? Have you checked for fuel at the bowl? I doubt its a headgasket, 7.3's rarely eat head gaskets.

If the water in fuel light come on then you need to drain the bowl... IF you had a ton of water in there, there is a chance that you blew a nozzle tip off... If there is a lot of white smoke, stop driving it! White smoke is raw fuel and can cause very bad things!
