It seems that my truck runs better after a bath!
 
Well,

I took my truck out to fuel it up, and decided to giver 'er a thorough bathing. To my surprise, the truck seems to run smoother!!! LOL! Must be happy to get all the dirt off, from winter.

I know what your saying...I thought it was just me. My truck also stops squeeking and rattlin after a bath too!

geez. i completely agree with you. i think everyone can relate to their trucks being clean and them running better. washing trucks is almost a cheap engine mod.

Just ran out and washed the truck going to the track tomorrow and trying to get a 12 second e.t. best 13.07 Hope this helps LOL

Bob, a fresh coat of wax will make it slicker in the air. ;)
In all reality, you could try something all the cheesey import guys do...try taking all the cracks, closing the grill opening, remove the rear bumper and tailgate, gut the interior, and you will probably be in the 12's.
A couple huge patato cannon tailpipe tips couldn't hurt either. ;)
