cleaning the engine
The day I bout my pre owned 2007 6.7 the salesman said : "We dont wash / clean the engines anymore becasue of all the computer / electronic components that are used with newer engines. Is this guy full of sh** ?
Mine has some dirt/ dust covering it. And I try and baby these expenive toys and keep them as clean as possible. Especially an expensive Cummins.
If so / or not...Can I take it to a car wash and spray it down with soap and rinse it off thorougly. Or should I just use the High Pressure spray only with no soap.
Can these engines take the old fashion can of De-Greaser ? Or is that a no no.

well at work we use the pressure washer to clean the engines (Cummins ISX, ISM, and 8.3) which are all electronic never really had any problems now i wouldnt be putting 5k psi of water right on the ecm and conectors but you should be ok to spray them down with soap and a high pressure hose
