    anyone know where I can get underside washed? Preferably someone that uses a pit to get under and do a good job. East of I35 would be best.

    Some dealerships have pits.
    Caterpillar often have them too.
    Whether either of these are an option for you where you at is another story.
    I offer this info because of a previous town I lived in the cat house offered this service.

    Blue Beacon does undercarriage, but no pit. I don't think it work very well either.

    I know it sucks...........You'd think by now someone would have a place (With several locations) That Power wash our undercarriages (Complete degrease)........

    Im personally getting tired up having to Jack up my truck or run it up on blocks to Get to the stuff that never gets washed.

    Why is it a big deal? Because the dirty bastages in those DOT scales have well lit "Pits" to completerly Look at the underside of your truck. Kinda like a Doctor ready to do a Rectal exam on you with a bright light staring up your Butt with assistants looking over.

    If we can't Clean the undercarriage to OUR liking..Then DOT doesn't get to Look undereneath. MY NEW RULE!


    So There!

    ..... It's east of 35...

    Washbay in kittery Maine. Got a regular wash that's real good and a drive thru with undercarriage wash. Like legitimate drive thru. Walk in pay, then at green light idle all the way thru in 1st.
    Chassis blast does wonders. I may start dh up there n back home just to get it done every now n again.

    The reason you don't see them is 98% of the O/O are to cheap to have it done. I think BB does a prettygood job, I have mine done a couple times a year. It costs about $150.00 for every thing. Give it a try, if you don't like it don.t go back.
