Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

[No F-bdy Bs]

My truck rarely sees a dusty, dirt road, if ever. Actually, never.

Within 6mo of ownership, mine was totally covered with road dust and yellow, Louisiana pine pollen. I swear, it looks 6yrs old. You'd think it was an oilfield, or pipeline service truck. Did GM just do a piss poor job of sealing the bay? 

 

Anyone else with this issue?

Same I wipe down the engine bay every oil change.,

I used to keep it clean, but now I just don’t care and yes, it’s very dusty. Maybe I’ll get a wild hair and clean it one of these days.

Mine is the same. Yellow pine pollen here in the spring is terrible.

I have a 2 gal. garden sprayer with Purple Power in it. I clean the  engine bay with a cold engine and a garden hose using the spray setting. Done this for years without issue.

Most vehicles have engine covers. The cooling fan’s are below the cover. That probably doesn’t help. I cleaned collector car engines. The rest not so much since the last one protested by missing for a few days drying out.

I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.
