My new to me 01 Sport with 125k was a greasy mess from the stupid "Oil Capture Bottle" that allowed oil fumes to get sucked around to the front of the radiator and nearly plug it off and make a mess of the engine.
I had used de greaser on the front of radiator only to get some of the plugged area off prior to doing the removal so the truck would not get too hot towing the boat. So the look of the lower area of the radiator was all across it before de greasing.
First engine pic upper pressure wash was complete second all was done.
I did the PEAK relocation kit and now the engine/radiator will stay clean.
I removed the radiator, fan and pressure washed the engine and surrounding areas with hot water from my HW tank. I took the radiator to have it cleaned and pressure tested.
Replaced serpentine belt and all hoses plus a Cummins T-stat.
NO chemicals were used in the engine bay so I expect no issues from using hot water.
