degreaser on a rag... Apply liberaly till rag is wet, apply elbow grease to what you want clean, go over it with a clean rag afterwards, cover coil packs (if applicable) and spray with hose. Go over with a clean rag one more time. Start her up to get the water off the belt, spray on some belt dressing on the underside of your belts. Let that sit for about a min, then start it up again. Good to go. Its my method (If your belt has never squeeked or is relatively new, skip belt dressing.. its not necessary.. I just despise squeeky belts, even if its just when you start up for the first few min..)

Results?

Drop it off down in OK for a while and i'll clean it for free... I guarentee there will still be a 4v motor in there when you get back.. it just uhh.. might have a cobra emblem on the manifold instead of an eaton.....
