I get those little rust spots... but usually they come off with a dab of polish or wax. I think they're just metallic contaminants that get picked up while driving, and of course they rust. We just notice them easier against the white paint.

Clay bar is a good solution for this. removes rail dust and contaminates safely.

You White Soda Crackers just tear my BigBlue *ss up with your "better than you" honk-ey attitude. You plain as vanilla.

 

Oh, that's right; vanilla is an off-white. Never mind.

Hey do any of you guys with white trucks notice what appear to be like little rust spots on your truck sometimes? I noticed one the other day and upon further inspection, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. I tried washing the truck really good with my usual car soap/water. I tried a quick wash with dish detergent because I wanted to strip the old wax anyway. I even tried a little rub with some gas and then a rinse with water and they didn't go away. I'm curious as to how they got there to begin with. My only thought was that some time during the summer I got some kind of liquid fertilizer on my truck when the fields get sprayed. Any thoughts?

 

 

I also have the rust spots. I have always heard of this reffered to as "Industrial Fallout". Mark V used to carry a powder that you mixed into a paste and let it sit on your car for a short time, then go over it with a high speed buffer and it would be all good. Here is the link to the new and improved stuff if you guys are interested. It seems they went from a powder to a liquid.

I took some quick pictures of my White Truck on Friday. It wasn't really clean, since it had been sitting in the rain for 2 days, and my wife just told me I should have cleaned the windows...I thought that was her job :puke:

And here is my Gaurd Dog. She is a bit upset that I put the cover on the bed. She doesn't understand that it folds up so she can ride back there.

I like white. But, there is nothing that gets my heart pumping more than looking at a nice bronzed bodywith some well placed curves. :puke:

I don't think it is any secret that we are being invaded. All of these different colored truck owners thinking they are better than us white truck owners. They come into our forums and gang up trying to push their colors on us.

 

Whities where you at??

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
