I drove thru a crime scene today where a fleeing suspect shot at a Florida State Trooper after crashing into a couple cars waiting at a stop light and fled on foot. I was stopped so they could take a quick look in the bed of my truck.

Got the new fan clut​ch installed today!! My truck does not sound like a Turbojet airplane anymore!!! Just a little over $600.00 and 1/2 day in shop. Only problem is I thought that it should be covered under the powertrain, the dealer said that it could run like that for quite a while with out any problems.

1998 GMT400's did

 

Yeah think his is a 98. He was pretty excited, Z71 350 ext cab, it was mint and had low miles. Few days later he takes it to DIY carwash and clear coat started flying off the hood.

Anyone have any thoughts a fluiffilm. I have a buddy who owns a shop and is doing undercoating with it. Thinking about having doing my truck living in new England and I want to keep it for the long haul hopefully

My neighbor bought a lift last year, and started doing this as a side business. He hosed down my coal stove with the stuff to try and slow the severe corrosion that had already started from sitting idle in my damp basement (coal ash + moisture = sulphuric acid). It smells nasty, but the stuff is GREAT. I highly recommend it. I prefer used motor oil because I'm a cheapskate - it's free but it's messy, and you have to check some areas where it will wash off over time. The Fluid Film seems to stick better.

 

 

 

Just got back from a 6 day excursion down to FL and back, hauling a '67 Belvedere down for my buddy. 1.5 days down, stayed 2 days, and 1.5 days back. Just got home a few hours ago. Had enough of the road to last a lifetime - 2 trips down there in 2 months, 1,380 miles one way. I don't envy you, Chevor! The Silverado didn't break, so I'm a happy man.

 

Got his giant 220v Ingersoll-Rand compressor into his garage from the front of his house using my trailer, then offloaded the Belvedere into the garage. Wired the compressor in for him while I was there. FL is an interesting place, having lived in MA most of my life.

You saying you just spray used oil under your truck? I can see the logic. How long does it last?

[Jsdirt]

Hard to say. Most of it is still there from over a year ago on my Silverado, but there are a few dry patches here and there. Could have been that I just didn't go heavy enough with it. Our '89 S10 Blazer has gone through 5 hard MA winters on 100% salted main roads, and the undercarriage looks better than the body does.

 

Back in the day, my grandfather had quite a business doing this. Long, long before Fluid Film or LPS3 (or their inventors) were even a thought.

I got to use my Black Jack Kit for the first time on this truck. It sure is a great thing to have.... and a Viair compressor.
