Reading about a CUCV that went swimming.... I know a guy that buys flood damaged cars at auction. Modern ones... He tests the computers with a battery pack that he has in his back pack that he connects to the car battery terminals. If the gauges on the dash display correctly, he is happy and bids.
His trick for fixing the transmissions is to remove the torque converter and drill a small hole in the body to drain all fluid AND the water that has gotten inside it. He says it is the only way to get the water out of the torque converter. He also drains/flushes the engine, transmission, differentials etc. He exports them overseas to Europe, and has no problems with them after his process.
