Driveline rust!!!

[btm991]

i was lookin down at the new exhaust i put on and noticed that my driveline was a completely orange/rust color. is this normal. it doesnt snow where i live so there is no salt on the road im just wondering if i can get the color off.

If you are referring to the driveshafts, then yes it is normal. There was a thread (link below) a few months ago where a guy purchased a brand new Super Duty that had rust on many of the raw metal components. The rust doesn't look nice but it doesn't really hurt anything either.

anything metal that doesnt have a sealant or paint on it will rust. thats also why leaf springs always rust. a good solution is to paint over it, or paint it before it has a chance to rust

Yup, I took the black rattle can to mine right after I got it home. Painted driveshafts and any raw metal.

Now these are perfect applications for Fluid Film. Fluid Film stops and loosens existing rust on contact. It also prevents rust on all metals. There is no other product on the market like it. It has a unique lanolin base and is manufactured without the use of solvents.

If you haven't tried it and live in the US, try a sample can on us. It WILL prove itself. Just PM me your contact info and I'll get one in the mail.
