I did a lot of reading on here and other diesel forums before I bought them and XRF seems to be the new best thing. That is who I went with. Grease able and million mile warranty

That sounds like a winner.
I wish these trucks had grease fittings.
Are they expensive ?
Do you have a link ?

I sprayed my truck yesterday with the fluid film. Was not bad at all to do. I put on a Tyvek suit and went to town.
The undercoating gun worked great and I used about 1/2 a gal of fluid.

I also made the tool that lets you drive the seal on without damaging it, so if anyone wants to use it i would be more than happy to lend it to you

There are a lot of them in the town I am from in nothern Maine. I guess I better be careful passing them on the roads. The lights they use on their buggies are so bright it looks like a plow truck coming at you.
