Do I really want to do this .
Hey it was a nice day in PA . Cold 30 . I reworked the running board that was damaged in accident couple monts ago (Never found replacement ) Did get $ but that wont even buy alum ones not alone stainless>)
Back to post
Finshed it up laying on dirt looking under truck . And I thought Do I want to submit this truck to salt
. It had never seen snow till last year and I was off most winter.
I can have a company truck 07 2x4 5spd or Gas for my truck . I dont like the idea of being stuck 2 hrs from home becuase the 2x4 wont go. Or the sucky cement block seats .
I usually have a back up truck but have not found a good replacement yet .
My plow trucks get 10 MPG on a good day . I could take my dads new DODGe crew I dont care if it rusts out
Oh well its what it was built for ,just have not had a nice bodied truck in years . Fun while it lasted Let it snow.

i would drive your truck in the winter if it is 4x4. i live in new hampshire and believe me 4x4 is the way to go if it is an option for you to drive. with your truck just get it washed every week or 2. go to a car wash and get the undercarriage washed especially

I wash it in gargae at work weekly . Its that dang liquid salt stuff they use here In PA its just like grease and you have to use a steam jenny to get off. A persure washer does not cut it . Helps .
No I'll run it . Unless I get 1 of the parts trucks put on road . 2 are good running but need 5 gal of bondo to get inspected.

Liquid salt solutions are very common in Ohio now.
I just saw a news blip about them using a salt solution with cranberry juice or something mixed in with it that makes it effective below 20 degrees farenheight and GREATLY REDUCED corrosion this year.

I read it sticks better and does not get pushed off road and contaminate area as bad .

They have been using it in Mass the last couple of years at least on the interstates. As other posters have said it is more effective at lower temps, covers more area, and seems to stick to the road a little better. It does make a mess and can be difficult to remove from the under carriage. If you come down I-93 tomorrow morning you might see one. Put my snow tires on yesterday!
