The engine in your truck will perform better when it is free of grease and dirt. Grease and dirt build up over time and can be removed by a simple cleaning. To clean the engine. First, cover up the electrical areas with plastic wrap to prevent damage, second; rinse the engine off with water, third, use a degreasing compound product like simple green to scrub certain spots if necessary. Finally, rinse the engine area completely. Remove the plastic and allow the engine to air dry for a while with the hood up.
The best stuff to use is called engine degreaser. This chemical will clean off all of the engine oil and gum from the 12 year build-up. Then use a spray nozzle either at home or at a car wash and spray off the engine. Do not get the intake air filter wet.
