I didn't know you had ties to Albuquerque. I'll take you up on the beer, but what's a "2'Dozen... "?

Well, its something I made up, alot of people say lets have 1 or 2, ok...

I say, lets have 1 or 2 dozens... not just 1 or 2, I wouldnt waste any time on 1 or 2, It's all or nothing...

I've just been taking an oily rag and wiping down the driveshaft and other rusting parts. Looks better for awhile.

As for the undercoating I thought that was only certain years assembled in Mexico. My '02 was assembled in Mexico and has a pretty decent undercoating but only on the cab.

I have been wanting to post about this as well... . I have major rust on my drive shaft, U-joints, access cover to transfer case... ect. I was wanting to paint them. I want this truck to last a long time. OK to paint?]



I painted mine with OSPHO (It's used a lot in the marine industry) goes on like a primer and it turns rust inert, goes on real thin, i applied it to anything and everything that was rusted or had bare unpainted metal exposed, turns it all black. No problem with unbalancing drive shafts and no post vibrations any ware.
