Cleaning under the hood

I was wondering what is the best way to clean the psd? Can I steam clean it with low pressure or do I need to spray a solvent on the engine and wash it off?

I use a product similar to simple green and water hose. That does it for me.

...Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts! If you have a minute check out the Guidelines, it will help you to navigate through and understand FTE.
I spray with Gunk brand engine degreaser, if it is real dirty you can always hook the garden hose to the bottom of the hot water heater and use the hot water to spry the engine and Gunk off the motor. It is always good to drain the hot water heater once a year any way to get rid of the sediment. So two jobs done at once….
Sounds like you already have a steam cleaner, that is nice.
We are pleased you have chosen the best source for Fords!

Enjoy FTE …..See you on the boards.
