Careful guys scotty did bring out a C2500 1996 a few months back. I did buy a C1500 1996 same year. Anyways these trucks have OBII scanners. And mine crapped out this morning without flashing the check engine light. So........ be careful when you buy these things watch your RPM and if there is a hill coming up on the highway do get to the breakdown lane immediately.

Plus taking a lil pride in your vehicle never hurts, just don't do something wild like take a pressure washer to it.

I almost always agree with Scotty but I own a used car dealership and we pressure wash the engine bay of every vehicle - It makes knowing the difference in past leaks & build up and current leaks possible. Also pressure washers when turned down low use about 1.2 GPM rather than the 3GPM a hose does.

@purpledonatello Жыл бұрын

Scotty, you already mention this time sfter time and I cant agree with you more. I had my engine bay washed once, but the funny thing is I didnt asked for it. The mechanic shop went ahead a did it without my approval. Months later, lots of seals like valve cover, oil pan seal, and trigger evap code. Please, I hope you keep reminding people. If anything, brush off the dust with paint brush and wipe it down microfiber cloth.

I'm more concerned about the length of time he's currently abstained from sanitizing his bodily orifices. At this point it'd be futile for him to even entertain the typical post-defecation wiping routine anymore. I'd imagine doing so would be about as effective as dragging a lint roller across a patch of grass, or frantically waving an air filter around the room to avoid getting sick. Well, fortunately I'm sure he has a good selection of degreasers and wire brushes laying around in case he wants to mine his way down into the crust layers to once again establish a direct contact with his raw (anal,oral,nasal,testicular,and/or belly button) flesh. For what purpose I do not know unless perhaps he has a sudden urge to aquire a tattoo.

If the components under the engine bay is good enough for the natural elements it’s good enough to get washed.

But I hate getting my hands dirty every time I touch anything under my hood :( also I’m scared of stuff being knocked down into my engine when I have the cap off and I’m filling it with oil :(
