engine clean

Anybody had their engine shampooed by a dealer? On my HD Chev I had before I tried Ford I had the engine shampooed at the Chev dealership a few times and it really made the engine compartment look a lot sharper. And I am sure the engine ran cooler. I asked one Ford dealership and they said they don't do that but I am going to ask a few other dealerships and see if it can be done.

Hopefully my radio doesn't cut out completely.

Aha

Ya, I saw that after I posted. And I also noticed in the owners manual that certain parts of the engine are to be covered before spraying and to avoid certain areas. I do want to get my engine cleaned though as it just looks cleaner, and newer, and I imagine runs cooler. Not that my engine is overheating but I like my truck to look good everywhere, meaning the exterior, interior, undercarriage, and engine compartment. I even clean the inside of my rims and tires.

[/quoteDont try it man, they will blame the radio on it, also it makes you look like you care. You have to seem utterly disgusted with the bad radio.
