Too much to ask?

You know, I don't think it would be too much to ask for Ford to throw a quick coat of paint on the drivesafts. My truck ilsted for $45K and the driveshaft looks like crap. The whole thing is rust covered. For $20K I wouldn't expect to have a brand new vehicle with rusty parts, nevermind almost $50K.

Amen to that! I'm in the same boat. I'm gonna do something about it before it drives me nuts.

We can only dream, jlcote.

I decided to crawl under there and do it myself. Had to mask of a few things here and there to make it look right, but it was worth it.

And, no, it wouldn't be that much to ask.

Hey Ron,

What did you do to prep it before painting?

Thanks,
