2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rust Belt occupants-eat your heart out

[GAmes]

Just thought I would post a couple pics of my frame with the engine out. I spent a couple hours wiping the grease and dirt off. I have not ever painted any of the frame. I bought this truck new 15 years ago this month. Yes, I do operate in the great white north in the winter. I just give my pressure sprayer a workout when I get back to TX.

Shut up!

 

[jgillott]

I'm not liking you at this moment.

 

[mwilson]

Me either.....

I am an RVer. When the temps go up here, I head north. Seriously, I spent 17 of my 27 years in the Army working on the Ft. Hood flight lines. Sometimes the aircraft skins were so hot I had to preflight with gloves on. The heat never bothered me until I retired and vacationed north in the summer. Then I didn't want to go back!:-laf

Nice, got one myself, I live in Flagstaff AZ now but I was ORIG from Pittsburgh PA, turned a dodge to a rust pile in six years..... I have two 2001's and they are both without "cancer"

Our truck looks the same, except the paint is a little more faded. It's a 96.

No road salts and dry weather is a great recipie for no rust. My dad lives in Cleveland and it is amazing how fast new vehicles turn to crap!

 

[abranz]

It's a constant battle in n. Idaho to keep corrosion under control with salt on the roads a full 6 months of the year. I've had great results spraying the undercarrage in the fall with fluid film. My two dodges don't look like yours but there is no major rust at all. The 95 plows snow and the 06 drives about 7000 miles during winter. The product really does work and no I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Anthony

Salt is best served on fries, not frames.



So back in my home state OH, they mined salt from underneath Lake Erie, spread profusely on roads and bridges, works darn good as a de-icer and snow melter in winter, but eats roads and worst bridges like it is candy, one thing I don't miss, road salt.



Games looks good.

You Suck! #@$%!

 

[GAmes]

You Suck! #@$%!

LOL:-laf How about this. I have grossed more than 10 times the original purchase price with it in the last 7 years. In other words, I drive it for free, and have been for quite awhile. Oo.

 

[toms73novass]

Oh, Now your Really piling it on! That deserves another YOU SUCK!

 

[Missouri Mule]

Yeah, no rust on my Mule! But the frame is covered in oil and dirt from a oil leak (leak fixed two years ago).

Me to... pains me to not clean it but I am liking the protection to the truck more.

I can't even have paint on my CAB and here you are with a new looking FRAME! Mine has been nicknamed the calico.



Do you deliver trailers? I have an friend that drives for pinnacle now that used to be bennet.



Did I mention you suck?

 

[GAmes]

I drive for a small company that is based in Portland, OR. Since I have the engine out they have called me no less than 4 times with loads out of TX (I am the only driver who lives in this region). Of course, when I get it running they won't have anything for me:-laf
