I noticed that these trucks also have a sound deadening material that absorbs salt and moisture at the bottom of the front fender. It's the area between where the front mud flap and front door seam would be. You can see it if you open your door and look in the seam where your hinge is near the bottom. I removed the mud flap and front wheel liner to access this spot and removed the sound deadening material. The material was soaking wet and could have made that area rust out. I now keep the area soaked with Krown spray.

Also this past winter I have tried Salt-Away concentrate in a pressure washer reservoir to rinse off plow and trailer. Seems to do a good job at removing the salt. I will use it on my truck undercarriage this spring if this winter ever ends.

I like to keep my trucks for many years too. I have had Krown undercoating done in Upstate NY the last two years and I am very happy with it so far. During the winter I will rinse the undercarriage a few times but no pressure washing. Spring time I use a sprinkler to wash the undercarriage and rinse out the frame. Then touch up areas with an aerosol can of Krown. So far my frame looks better than other trucks in my area.
