You should never wash a modern engine. There are too many electronics to make it safe.

 

Yes, glc is right, don't wash a modern engine, unless it is absolutely necessary.

If you really must, make sure it's on a sunny dry day. Unhook the battery, and cover key areas with plastic garbage bags. Also, don't do it with the engine hot, you'll run the risk of cracking the block. Before energizing the truck, have it sit at least 24-48 hours to make sure it is all dried out. The use of a fan hung from the hood latch also helps.

In fact, there are key areas that are outlined on pages 364 through 366 in your owners manual as to where to place protection when washing.

Lastly, DO NOT use a pressure washer or corrosive acids to clean an engine.
