Just pulled the blower off my 99 with 60. I'm trying to find out that stuff you use to clean it; some kind of solvent, not carb or brake cleaner...something else.

 

 

acetone

Get a gallon or two of Castrol Superclean; it will clean it up good as new very easy

 

That's it....Castrol. Thanks mucho

 

From the looks of your IC, I think you need some napalm and thermobaric rounds. Actually I recommend some Sea Foam Green. This stuff did a great job as a cleaning solevent on my 99 IC.

 

YIKES

 

HOLY IF THAT WAS HASH OIL, I'D BE RICH BATMAN

How the hell was that thang even breathing

Bro the L is going to have a whole new feeling when your done

 

that looks like the updated IC also. damn sure mine will look just like it when i go to change the core out.

 

wow if ur intercooler looks like that how gunked up are u valves??? but sea foam or ur common engine degreaser will take that stuff off

 

Wow, thats crazy. How hard was it for you to get all that stuff off? Seems like something I should be going.

The cleaning has not started yet; I'm heading out to get the cleaner. I found a good oil seperator in the classifieds that IS going on before the key is turned.

 

that is the worst one I've ever seen.

You may want to run some toulene and marvel mystery oil through the fuel system to clean up any buildup that has accumulated in there.

I run it once a year to clean everything out.

 

Damn thats some nasty looking SH*T!

I guess the springs haven't gone in yet?

Like everyone else said .....Whole new truck after you clean it up.

Later Joe

 

Thanks l-menace....gooooood tip and will be tried

Dude, springs were put in 5 days ago. The change is pretty noticeable. I'm glad I did it. I used a set of drop shackles to lower it 1 1/2" to try and get the rear down a bit. No drive-train vibes, at all.
