is this safe?
so my undercarriage has Been covered with mud clods the size of soft ***** and stuff from the last 4 or 5 mud trips. so i figured that if going through mud fast gets it all on there than water should get it off. so there is this like 4 inch deep water puddle on a road around here and its on asphalt. so i hit it at like 30 and water sprayed everywhere. i get out and my undercarriage is spotless. my dad says that doing that is so high pressure. he said he did it once with a guy standing next to one and the guy fell over from the power.

I guess that since you're asking, you're unsure. Just don't hydroplane man.....seen to many pics of here or wrecks.

i just did it after i got back from the mounds,
i hook my garden hose up to the laundry tub, which is right off of the garage, so i have all hot water, and i lay on the ground and spray it put underneath, it isnt hard and it doesnt require energy or thinking, just put on old clothes and do it

I'd use the power washer but really the pressure of the puddle is gonna probably be less that the pressure from the washer. If you don't want to get on the ground then jack/flex one side of the truck so you just need to bend... or we sell attachments that car detailers love that let them wash the underside without getting on the ground... They can be expensive but if you're that lazy then PM me and I'll give you some options/pricing.

you may think the puddle is getting all the mud, next time you are washing your truck, squirt the garden hose between your bedside and flare from the underside, or between the inner fender and the bedside from the inside and watch what comes out.
the #1 cause of bed rust is people not washing between the inner and outer fender, my F-150, F-250, and S-10 did, im not letting it happen to my Ranger

stop being lazy, and pressure wash it, i will tell you what will eventually happen if you keep driving thru big water puddles at high speed, you WILL suck water into your air box, and it WILL get sucked into your intake, and F your motor up, now i ask you, is it worth it?

I'm sure your balljoints and frame lubrication appreciate that.
I used to play in the water until I started getting squeaks in the front and rear suspension and frame that have taken me forever to get rid of, and helped accelerate my balljoint failure process.
With a pressure washer you can avoid the sensitive areas of the truck while still knocking that mudd off of the frame and bottom of the cab.
It doesn't even take a pressure washer. A hose and your thumb and about 25min and you're good.
