Steam cleaning an engine and under the truck

This one of those things that needs to be done, its gonna get really messy and take some time, but is really better if you do it your self.

You can rent a pressure wash machine for pretty cheap.
get a propane fired heat and gas powered pump unit. Any good tool rental place should have them.

Go buy a cheap garden spray tank at a place like lowes and 3 or 4 gallons of simple green cleaner, also pick up a deck brush.

Now the only thing you need to work out is the place and what you can do with the toxic waste your going to create.

 

There is a truck detail shop in OKC, was off s MacArthur ,about 11th , ask a truck dealer.

 

Start off ez.....swing thru a beacon and let do their cheapie quickly engine wash.....you'll b surprised how much they can get.....then ##### it ain't right....and they'll get some more.....?then hit a local coin op w/truck bay......waste a gallon of simple green.....really spray down the bad spots....rinse repeat....that really ought do ya

 

I set up my ramps and drive up them and fire up the steam cleaner.

Have taken cars to a car wash to remove the majority of the mess, what's is left behind is a different job. I'd look for a truck wash to do the same. might even pay someone else to do it at a truck wash.. twice, maybe a third once inspected.

 

I have oil caked so badly onto the back of the head on my engine I don't think its coming off unless I sandblast it.
