How to clean a muddy chassis?

[Dirky]

Vo shient it?


I made the mistake of going "off-roading" with my clean 2000 F-150... The things never seen mud in its life, and the chassis was perfect... Well no more.

I miss those days, and the car wash can only do so much to dried on mud, so what have you guys done to rid your trucks of mud? I'm thinking some sort of de-greaser, and a trip to the car wash again...

Ugh, I hate mud...

If you want it perfect,you're probably gonna have to get under it and scrape it with a putty knife or some other large flat piece of metal.Either way,you're gonna have a fun time with it.A pressure washer might help too,but I'd imagine only on a low setting if possible,so that it doesn't destroy any undercoating on the frame.

After a couple days of driving in the rain the mud will loosen up and be easier to get off with a pressure washer

If you don't mind the mess on your driveway, put a lawn sprinkler under your truck and let it run. That majority of that mud will drop off of there. As the mud gets saturated, gravity will have it's way with it.

Take Goose's advice. That's by far the easiest way I've found.

I agree 100%. That's what I do.

I leave it up on the trailer and take the pressure washer to it. Easier to get up under there when it's elevated. Then just spray down the trailer when you're done.
