pressure washing the engine bay help

[usnavyad]

Has anyone ever pressure washed a 7.3l and degresed it I'm worried bout the electrical conections and alternator and all that do I need to mask anything off or be careful of anything

Don't use pressure. Spray degreaser and use LOW pressure water. All the connections under the hood are weather resistant, so getting a little wet won't be a problem.

Just cover up your intake and it will be fine.

I degrease and pressure wash mine all the time, I throw a plastic bag over the 6637 filter and have at it. Then I used compressed air and dry it all off, and sometimes use silicone dressing on everything and wipe that back down.
