Question: anyone clean that thing on the bottom of hood?

[lotsofmiles]

anyone have any success cleaning this? hosing it off doesnt seem to get it. rest of my engine looks decent, but this thing bugs me.

Take it off. You can't clean that thing

I pulled the one out of my 2005 and put in a DynaMat hood liner for $100. It's nice and shiny and it cleans easily.

 

[lotsofmiles]

I was thinking about pull it. Then I might be under 8600lbs

I pressure wash mine, it doesn't seem to look to terrible. I can't take it off because of the cold here in the winter-need all the insulation I can get!

 

[UNBROKEN]

Soak it in Simple Green then pressure wash it from the top down....seemed to work pretty well for me. If that doesn't do it....yank it off and throw it away....that worked REALLY well for me. :rofl:

 

[SIKDMAX]

Im gonna remove mine... that thing is a pain to clean!

 

[coldLBZ]

I feel your pain. I haven't been able to get mine clean.

I think a mural of a naked lady would look better there!!


But what really grinds my gears is the lack of underhood light on these trucks!!!

You can say that again! Even my POS '93 S10 has a hood light.

I'm working on that. I'm torn between the retractable one from the 88-98 or custom kit. I'll put up part numbers if I make a kit.

It's like a $85 option that nobody ever gets for some reason!
There should be a giant spotlight under there that comes standard!!

x2 ^^ (on the '01) but mine still works

 

[lotsofmiles]

I run a cleaning company, you'd think I could figure something out.

took the furniture tool and cleaned it just like I would a couch or chair.

worked good, a couple streaks i'll touch up but I think it dod the job.

It wasn't an option for the 04 MY, or else my truck would have it; I ordered it with every option I could get.

 

[duratothemax]

no its never been an "option" in the GMT-800 or GMT-900 trucks. The 99-02's had them standard and the 03+ trucks dont have them (and it wasnt optional either)

I have a snake light

I guess I dont think the hood light is needed for the duramax since they dont break under normal use:rofl: And you guys actually clean under your hood
