Rust and what to do about it.
#61
Big-Foot, did you get the kit that hooks the the air compressor or just to the aerosol cans? Can't tell if you did or not by your post. The air compressor kit is much more powerful and quicker. Gets stuff farther in places like bed supports and other hard to get to body panel areas because of the pressure and volume behind it.

Just found out my Toyota friend is getting a whole new frame. What a slap in the face to American Vehicles. My 2011 already got denied help on my chrome peeling off the running board, and now I see signs of rust on the frame and it only has 23k. My thoughts when I bought this truck was it would be my last and I would enjoy touring the country camping. Now I have my doubts.
Maybe some of the Ford Reps who monitor these boards should take it back to the higher ups. Yea RIGH?T!

I don't even want to touch it for fear. The only good thing about the truck is; it was free. My 79 ford frame doesn't even come close to that nightmare. I might try my hand at the recall and see if I can have any luck.

My wife said the smell reminds her of her younger years when she raised sheep, I guess it's from the lanolin.
My 2013 and my wife's 2012 have had a coat of fluid film since new(I actually coated mine before I drove it off the lot since mine didn't arrive from the factory until the middle of the winter)and after two winters the underside of my wife's truck is still as shiny as when it was new.

Oh trust me. Been there done that. I think I have an old painter outfit I'll wear too. Plus I'll be parking the vehicles in the grass. Last year my driveway was an "ice" rink after it.

I actually like the smell of fluid film. The only time it was a little overwhelming was when I took the plugs out of the back wall of the interior of the cab and sprayed in there. The cab stunk for a few days.

Yea. Can't say I enjoy the smell at all. It's not horrible but not pleasant.

It may also attack rubber bushings and brake hoses etc.

That's why fluid film is so great it's safe on those components. I feel like the used oil can just to easily be washed off. The fluid film creates, well, a film that seems to be self healing. Yes a full winter highway running will indeed wear it off in certain locations. I just think the fluid film sticks around better but that's just this guys opinion.

For what it offers, it's worth the money. Win, win, win.
