Default Still looking good
Sometimes it hard to believe my truck/engine has 223,640 miles on it.

(wow, the lighting really sucks in this picture.)

Really? Thats impressive to say the least. My 06 doesn't even have 20k on it and I don't think it looks that clean.

Damn rodents. I had a squirrel chew through the wires at the fuel tank pressure connector.

Thanks for the comments. I gotta say I only clean the compartment about every 15k-20k miles. Cleans up really well, every time.

Looks great! I too clean mine every 15k or so. Its tough keeping a high mileage truck looking good. Keep up the great work!
