Clean The Engine Properly
Can someone help me out and point me in the right direction, I found a great post on how to clean your engine properly, what to cover, what to use, etc... I can't find it now, I have searched all over with no luck.
I've got a diesel leak and I'm about to change the fuel filters and the oil while I'm at it, I also wanted to clean the engine to see if the diesel leak stops after changing the fuel filter.
Thanks,

Thanks, my truck unfortunately didn't come with the manual, I know I can download it from Ford, as a matter of fact, I already did, but I also like to hear/read what others have used to clean or what they've come across while cleaning or just what they might recommend.

I wouldn't clean the engine until AFTER you made sure the leak is stopped. It's easier to find leaks on a dirty engine than a clean engine since the fluid will leave a trail in the "dirt". The fluids, being basically clear, will tend to disappear on the clean surfaces.
