I agree with cmk241 Carb cleaner is much cheaper and stronger.. just take the head off of the engine with the four head bolts using the wrench provided with the kit. Be careful not to get any dirt inside the engine if the engine head comes off with the cooling head. Just be careful when using the carb cleaner it will eat plastic and cheap paint... dont worry about the paint on your cooling head though Its either a powder coat paint or an epoxy paint that it wont mess up.

ive actually seen carb cleaner weld 2 pieces of plastic together,you will have to be very careful if you plan on using carb cleaner,personally i think it is to strong.

i wont use carb cleaner since it eats plastic.

i am talking about clean the whole truck, not just the engine

Default Cleaning your savage

I use my Air compressor. Workers great. If you have been out mudding and have dried on mud you can wet it with glass cleaner the blow it off.

Sounds like a may be making a trip to WalMart. The air compressor sounds like just the ticket.
