I've heard that you can heat it with a torch, be careful not to warp your truck though.

I just got done doing under my bed. I used a good old razor to get most of it off. Then I used heavy duty strength oven cleaner. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then scrub it with a wire brush. Then I used a pressure washer to finish. It took it down to bare metal. I couldn't have been happier!

Give a thin scraper a try. (preferably a well seasoned one with rounded corners, not a new one) You might be surprised as most times, this stuff scrapes right off.

If you heat it up, it may be more difficult to remove.
