A pressure washer on a cold engine is the best, but you have to be SUPER careful not to get it into the wiring plugs.

I don't mud, so I just use water, let it sit, spray with a bit of Adams All Purpose Cleaner, scrub, and rinse. Following up with a good protectant like Adams Super VRT will allow for an easier cleanup the next time.

Convert, for now.

Get a sprinkler, the one that goes back and forth...turn it all, slide it under your truck, leave it for about 20 minutes...will wash and loosen most of that mud.

offer the neighbor kid 20 bucks give him/her a chair to stand on and some cleaners along with some rags. pop open a can of beer, or mix a drink. sit back and talk to the kid and be sure to explain why your ram is much more epic then his/her dads ford or chevy while the cleaning is being done :)

Ok sounds good. I haven't mudded in almost a year so all the actual mud is gone now what's left is just the brown sort stain/residue from the mud getting burned onto the block, heads, and gear box etc.
