I can't run my dually through a regular car wash.

Since I live in Minnesota and occasionally use the truck in the winter, I need to get the salt off the undercarriage.

Any suggestions on how to wash the underside of my truck?

Just pull into the self wash and hold the sprayer under it as best you can and spray away.... in the summer you can crawl under there and give it a sponge bath... ;D

Take an oscillating (sp) water sprinkler and put it under there and leave it for a while. As the water moves back and forth, it will clean everything up.

Wow, that's an excellent idea...I never thought of doing that. ;D

 

1 Put on rain gear
2 get a hose.
3 lay on ground
4 close eyes
5 spray under truck

repeat steps 4&5 until you and the truck are all clean
;D ;D ;D ;D

It will not work if he has rain gear on. He will never be clean. Better to do it without rain gear. Better still, naked. Then everything gets cleaned. ;D

I am now thinking that your living in a remote area, may not be of your own choice

 

(I live in a city. Really!)

We do that when we go muddin and dont feel like getting underneath the truck to rinse.Makes it a whole lot easier

 

I just put on my rain suit crawl down the ladder of my service pit ;D and wash it with my cummins powered sprayer. Actulally it's Honda powered.

One thing I have wondered about is these car washes recurculate the water, I just wonder how much salt gets packed with presure up in to the cracks and crevises of our vehicles. ???

That could lead to an interesting 911 call if the next door neighbor happened to peek out the window and see the bare feet pokin out from under the truck
