Anybody in the north treat for rust?

just poke a small hole in your front and rear main seals. it will keep everything oil coated. jokes aside ive lived in ne pa for the majority of my life. stretch in ny, nj, se pa. anyway regularly cleaning the bad spots were dirt and grime will get trapped is your biggest help. its not just that crap they spray on the roads in winter that eat our trucks.

I have what might be a stupid question. But here it goes anyway. Does the average local automated car wash really clean the undercarriage if you opt for the extra charge? I always felt like it was a rip-off like adding the hot wax or rain x options.

I oil all my vehicles. I use a low press high volume sprayer and spray 5W20 on eveything. After years of trial and error 5W20 works the best. I also try to keep dirt out of any areas where it can get trapped and hold moisture and salt residue. Been doing this for over 20 years and my stuff doesn't generally get rusty.

Not a stupid question but yes they do, but your best bet is get over to the self wash on 300 and 52 and get under there with the pressure washer and clean it up by hand.
