So I went to schucks today and picked up some cd2 engine cleaner for the truck and wow what a difference..This stuff works great, I should have used a degreaser first to get the thick stuff off, but it works. No before pics. (my dumbazz forgot)...

 

is it a spray on wash off type product? and wanna trade me engines? LOL

 

It's a spray on leave on. It gives it that always wet look.. As for the motor sure, but i get to keep the Blower LOL....

 

haha won't work on the 3.0L i am giving u

 

Oh chit I forgot you had the 3.0, Well i'll just have to get the whipple then LMAO...

 

so i'll be there in october for my 4.0L and drop off ur 3.0L lmao

 

I used good ole Simple Green and it let soak in for like 5 mins, then shot the pressure washer at it...

before:



after:

 

u guys do that with the engine running or what? i have been told to keep the motor running if i am spraying it...

 

Belay any information about cleaning the engine you have heard, 99offroadrngr - just put a bag over your intake if its a cold air open filter so it wont suck in water - and spray to your hearts content, let it drip dry about 10 minutes, and your set to go. Don't worry about your alternator or any other stuff in there - water wont do anything to it; you have MUCH more risk getting water in just by driving and splashing through a big puddle then cleaning your engine with it not running.. :-)

 

bump for the simple green, I'll have to check out that CD2 next time I'm at the store, its a paint to use armor all under there...

 

I do it always with the engine cold and turned off. I did mine in the morning and only had the engine running long enough to move the truck into position.

 

did ya just srap the engine with the co2 cleaning and use the hose or presure washer?

Yup :-) If you pressure wash - try not to keep the wand pointed at anything that might cause a dislodge.. such as getting the tip near the spark plug boots and such - spraying from a foot and a half away is okay though =)

Would i have to do this too?

 

If you have an open end style intake, then yes - or else youll have to pull off the intake and dry it out before you start the truck up. I'm talking about things like the K&N FIPK II setup... if you have a stock airbox, you shouldnt have to worry at all.

 

Yea that CD2 is great stuff, but its not a cleaner. Its a dressing, so you would do like Shane and simple green until your heart is content, spray off, allow to dry, and then shine it up with CD2
