Would water damage or ruin the oil/grease to lube the truck?

The roller bearings in the truck, on AC traction units are all sealed, so no damage. On DC traction units, LOTS of problems from water.

  Brakes? 

Nope. 

Sanding systems? 

Very little if any damage.

On EMD, the radar system?

No, as the radar transceiver is mounted pretty high up on the rear of the front couple pocket/draft gear portion of the underframe.

  (Thinking of the Super Series system around 1980?)
