Day one started with a scheduled visit to the steam cleaning shop to get the engine bay steamed before tearing things apart. I didn't want a greasy mess all over everything.

I wandered back to the steam cleaning area, and what to my wondering eyes did I see, but Jose' doing the pressure washer dance! Not what I ordered! I stopped Jose' and asked why they weren't steam cleaning. Long story short, they booked me for steam cleaning... even thought they no longer steam clean!

Well, as luck would have it, Jose' had used some caustic sh.....t on the suspension... that the pressure washer splashed onto my billet serpentine system, aluminum valve covers and chrome air cleaner and ceramic coated Heddman Hedders... and etched the hell out of everything!

I got Jose' to clean up the air filter and most of the valve covers... the Heddmans were another story. I told Jose' to stop cleaning and leave my truck alone. I figure I will have another job to do polishing everything when it comes apart for the body and paint.

The second half of day one saw the removal and replacement of the cab mounts, removal of all the front inner sheetmetal, core support, front bumper, dash bezel and dash components...
