That might work fine Cajun - I also remember, now that I think about it, that somebody else in the f150 forums recommended using a yard blower (like I do to clean PCs) to blow the plug wells out and dry things off.
Another cleaning product I remember now that someone uses is "Spray-n-Wash" (the stuff you spray on clothes before you put them in the washer to get rid of stains). A picture of his engine compartment looked squeaky clean.
The owners manual only says to be careful with water around the intake tube. I wonder if it's possible to force some in to the filter box through the crack where the tube joins it?
