I am wondering if you can pressure wash (low pressure) a engine in a 1989 Dodge d100? Is there anything that I should do to protect anyting under there or am I good with just using low pressure? Also, any helpful hints inremoving rust from the frame would be helpful...thanks
Answer
Using a LP washer should pose no problem. Just take care to cover the battery, alternator, and distributor with plastic bags to keep them from getting wet.
If you have serious case of engine gunk occurring under the hood, an engine degreasing product, available at any auto parts store, may be in order. Most of them simply entail covering the aforementioned electrical accessories, spaying the product on a warm (but not hot) engine, waiting 10 minutes or so, than hosing the engine off.
Rust on the frame can be dealt with a couple of different ways. Light rust can be sanded or wire brushed off of the frame, after that apply some primer or spray-on undercoating. An alternative is to purchase a rust-converting primer, which when sprayed onto rust actually chemically converts it into an inert type of primer paint. Advanced cases of rust may require media blasting (such as sandblasting), which typically requires removal of the body from the frame.

Change oil and oil filter while engine is at normal operating temperature.
Reset service interval indicator.
Replace microfilters.
Check overall thickness of front and rear disc brake pads using special tool. If replacement is necessary: Examine brake disc surfaces. Clean brake pad contact points in calipers. Grease wheel centering hubs. Check thickness of parking brake linings only when replacing rear pads.
Remove and install front and rear disc brake pads, check overall thickness. Examine brake disc surfaces. Clean brake pad contact points in calipers. Grease wheel centering hubs.
Check parking brake actuation. Adjust if necessary.
Check rear axle for leaks.
Half-shafts: Check for leaks at flexible boots.
Visually check fuel tank, lines and connections for leaks.
Check condition, position, and mounting of exhaust system. Examine for leaks.
Check power steering system for leaks. Check power steering fluid level; add fluid if necessary.
Check steering for absence of play, condition of suspension track rods, front axle joints, steering linkage and joint disc.
Check overall thickness of front and rear disc brake pads using special tool. If replacement is necessary: Examine brake disk surfaces. Clean brake pad contact points in calipers. Grease wheel centering hubs. Check thickness of parking brake linings only when replacing rear brake pads.
Remove and install front and rear disc brake pads, check overall thickness. Examine brake disc surfaces. Clean brake pad contact points in calipers. Grease wheel centering hubs.
Check front control arm bushings for wear.
Check brake system connections and lines for leaks, damage and incorrect positioning.
Check parking brake actuator. Adjust if necessary.
Check all tire pressures (including spare). Correct if necessary. Check condition of tires (outer surface [left/right]), tread wear and pattern; in case of uneven tread wear, readjust wheel alignment if requested (invoice separately).
Inspect entire body according to terms of rust performation limited warranty (must be performed at least every two years).
Read out diagnostic system.
Check engine cooling system/heater hose connections for leaks. Check coolant level and antifreeze protection level.
Add coolant if required.
Check level of brake/clutch fluid in reservoir. Add fluid if required.
Check windshield washer fluid level and antifreeze protection. Fill up and/or correct if required.
Check air conditioner for operation.
Replace microfilters. (Note: reduce replacement interval in dusty operating conditions.)
Reset service interval indicator.
Check battery state-of-charge and charge if required.
Check lighting system, i.e.: headlights, foglights, parking, back-up, license plate, interior (including map reading lights), glove box, flashlight, illuminated makeup mirrors, luggage compartment/area lights.
Check instrument panel and dashboard illumination.
Check all warning/indicator lights, check control.
Check turn signals, hazard warning flashers, brake lights, horns, headlight dimmer and flasher switch.
Check wipers and washer system(s); wiper blades, washer jet positions.
Check condition and function of safety belts.
Visually examine all SRS airbag units for torn covers, obvious damage or attachment of decals, decorations or accessories.
Check central locking/double lock.
Replace batteries for alarm remote controls in all master keys.
Check operation of all latches.
Check heater/air conditioner blower, rear window defogger.
Check rear view mirrors.
Replace air cleaner element. (Note: Reduce replacement interval in dusty operating conditions).
Replace IHKA recirculated air filters.
Time / Mileage Based service as follows:
Replace brake fluid every 2 years (time interval begins from the vehicleâs production date - Look inside driver's door to find production date label).
Replace coolant every 4 years (time interval begins from the vehicleâs production date).
