Hotter temperatures speed up the oxidation of iron, so vehicles tend to rust quicker in the Summer. Salt put out during the Winter can speed up rust too though.

I was thinking rust bad in summer, I never had undercoat when bought new in 2010, I thinking fluid film last longer, u got the cost compared to used oil but talk about a mess with old oil, I think it would slow down the rust, , don't any oil pentrate the rust an go in metal aways ? How far ? As far as far as is deep ? Where do they make steel at in US? Or steel Mills or actually make steel ? I heard where I at, comes from around st Louis

Best thing for rust prevention/remediation.

Do this ^^^. Get a cheap sandblasting gun at Harbor Freight, stick the hose in a bucket of old oil, hook up air hose, and go to town. Used oil really sticks on rusty metal, it will soak in to the good metal.

Are you saying you did this or suggesting someone should try it?Either way I’m in.

With all the trouble you have had with that truck why do you want to save it from rust? From what you have said sounds like it would be a mercy killing. Loosegoose , that's what my dodge would look like if I sprayed it with rust remover.lol

It's already got a Chevy under the radiator cap. That's the main thing wrong with it!

The exhaust manifolds, plugged catalytic converter/ muffler trauma isn't even dead and buried yet and now the undercoating dilemma is being revived...again. crazy

Go to your nearest John Deere dealer. They sell it in gallon cans.

Your vehicle wont rust if you maintain it.Even in the saltiest of conditions like here.
Wash and wax every couple of weeks in the bad seasons and an undercoat every couple years.

... you’re getting a lot of bad advice in here as usual Coonman... what you want to do is find a fresh mexican... tell him you’ll pay him a 100$ to get under that vechile and coat the undercarriage with burnt motor oil... then when he comes to collect... jerk his britches down , bend him over your good knee, and drum out a tejano song baseline on his bare butt then send him back down across the border


Insert profound nonsense here
