    I had to start cleaning EGR coolers and valves on our Dodges so I purchased a ultrasonic cleaner for 500 bucks off ebay and filled it with straight purple power and it makes your parts look like new after couple 30 minute cycles!!!

    cleaning steel hydraulic lines out

    I have the pig shooter and it works great but you dont need to spend all that money. You could just buy the foam pigs from your local hose shop and shoot them through with your blow gun for just a few dollars and it cleans the lines out great.
