After a search on here I found that the wax coating used on our frames is made by the Daubert Chemical Company - "Nox-Rust X-121-B" In the north east i have to deal with salt for almost 6 months out to the year.. so i figured i would try and find the same stuff so I can re-apply it every spring where it wore off or rust looks like its forming. The only place i could find it available is on their website : http://store.daubert.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=D&Screen=PROD&Category_Code=Noxrust&Product_Code=1786060

 

They sell single cans for $15 as well. That's the way I went. Figured if it does the job, and keeps my frame looking good, I can get a few people in my area to go in on a case with me. Cheaper that way.

 

It is pricey but since I plan to have this truck for a while, its worth it. My guess is i wont be able to apply this until April sometime but once I do I'll get some pics up..

You'd be much better off scraping off all the crap, and painting the whole chassis with a proper rust encapuslator paint and chassis topcoat.

yea i seen someone post somewhere on here about doing that... I dont have the patience for that haha. Maybe when the time comes to throw a lift on it i will.

I did the visible parts of my frame when I did my body lift and I'm planning on doing the whole undercarriage in the near future. It is time consuming for sure

Well I got to use some of this over the weekend. Hit 60-70 both saturday and sunday. wooo! 30's again today. anyways.. i did the part of my frame exposed in the rear wheel well. 2 thin coats.. LOOKS LIKE NEW! its only been a couple days so well see how it holds up. Drove through a little rain and still looks fresh. Looks like i will be using this until I have the ambition to scrape and re-paint my frame. :thumbs:

Amen, I've used Fluid Film on the truck the last few years, mom's Lacrosse since new, and the wife's Kia as well. It definitely seems to help hold off the rust.

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.

      Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.

      If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun!

      Scan Equipment for 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas

      By davester · Posted

      I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
