Go slow and steady, keep behind the bow wave as the water level will be slightly lower directly behind. I found when we had floods that the water was deceptively deep, especially in dips in the road. If you see lots of stranded cars best not to risk it!
Diesels also don't have all that HT cabling to get all nice and wet.
