BS. Ive driven for 2-3 hours of highway, turn off onto a trail and give her hell through deep *** water and have NEVER had the block crack. or anything else major go wrong for that matter.

give it hell

If you really use your truck you will have NO worries about soaking the motor down with clean water. I have always used high pres. use some engine degreaser too.

*EDIT* I cant belive that some ppl can own there own car and NEVER wash under the hood.

ah well in the end, got into the car wash a second time here....gave under the hood a decent lil wash. Mud seemed to come off the airbox n battery n everything pretty easily. It was a fairly quick wash under there...and a fairly lengthy wash under the actual vehicle....frickin mud...almost makes me not wanna go off roading until i have my own pressure washer!!!

None the less, all went well...thanks folks
