hey! I need to degrease my engine bag its starting to look really dirty from last hunting season. Just cover up electrical stuff or is there other things i need to be cAreful of? Thank you!

 

I'm going to cover my alternator and anything i can find electrical and plugs/wires, i dont plan on washing hard just with a hose. I know people do this all the time, any tips?

 

I drive to a public lake with a boat launch and drive in until my hood is covered. Gets the dirt off quick and easy. I don't even have to get out of the truck.

 

smartass....

 

Not advised.

 

This....make sure keep the engine running. The fan splashes water all around in the engine bay and kind of creates a power washing effect.

 

you guys are so helpful

 

Neutralize the Acid using Baking Soda + Water. The Dust from the Graphite Alternator Brush is very CORROSIVE when they get wet.

Disconnect, Spray Electrical Cleaner & Synthetic Lube on all undamaged wiring connectors. Wash it with pleanty of water before Pressure Washing.

 

I don't think that it's good to use the hose at all for degreasing or washing these trucks if you have a 4.6/5.4. Water gets in the spark plug holes and can short coils. Water sits on the plugs and rusts them. I just would use a hand spay bottle and some degreaser and do my best. Just my .02.

 

I was worried about that but i covered everything i could think of, didn't use heavy pressure and let it dry for 6 hours and it purrs like a kitten
