If you're going to use a pressure washer you might want to plastic bag the distributor or at least wrap a towel around it.

If you're just going to use the garden hose just try to not soak vital electronic parts.

It would be best to have the truck running while you are spraying water but don't start the cleaning job with a hot engine. Hot metal and cold water don't mix very well.

Use a mild degreaser and a soft brush and if your paint is of any concern place towels on the fenders and keep everything wet until you're ready to start drying.

A vac on exhaust works well for blowing off excess water and for getting it out of hard to reach places, some might use an air compressor it's a personal choice.

other than that have a ball.
