February 12, 20214 yr comment_616014 About the bed of the truck? Looks like old oil and sand/gravel/nut shells. Old oil is generally dark like that. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65062-enginetranny-sludge/#findComment-616014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 12, 20214 yr comment_616023 I think it would have all been black if it came from inside. Could also be stuff that was on top of the heat shield under the intake manifold, if it's still on or some other ledge area that could collect crud.

February 12, 20214 yr comment_616028 Some purple power will clean that right up. Don't use it on aluminum tho. (theres a ford f150 joke there if you look hard enough) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65062-enginetranny-sludge/#findComment-616028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
