WD40 is a very useful product when used as it was designed however...The Navy tested it, used it and decided to not use it for the reasons I have listed in many threads in this post. As part of my job and as an inspector for many years I attended numerous corrosion control schools and quarterly corrosion control training over many years and I understand the problems it can cause so I spoke up.

The company that makes the product spoke on the topic and didn't recomend using as has been discussed in this post.

Some will read this post and learn (which makes it worth speaking up)...
some will not.

 

Hello again Wingman sir! How are you?

^^ LMFAOROFL !

That's because it a Lame product, and a very NON-technical one at that.

It's analogous to that other useless product, also religiously followed by the ignant frothing masses - Seabarf-er..foam.

Chebbie troll versus the USN. Wow. Just wow.

To Old Dogg sir - thanks for the ed-u-ma-cay-shun, sir! Very much enjoy reading yer posts


MGD v4.1

 

I like the new version...

 

well i havent used WD 40 on the underneath of the truck but i use it on the bed rails and it works fabulous. Also i own a computer shop and i spray the re- furbished computers down with wd and they look brand spanking new

 

Guys, forget WD-40....


If you want to protect your truck try this out it isn't cheap but it should work....

it also talks about using it on distributor caps to remove water and what not. i like to use contact cleaner on electrical stuff for things related to that.

 

Heres a question for you old dogg. You know who the rockers have the plastic covers on the inside of them and they have plugs in them and little drain holes at the bottom.

Would it be good to pop off the plugs and spray some transmission fluid in there?

 

Why?

 

prevent/stop rust. the cab corners and rockers are common to rust out on 88-98's

i figure the rockers are covered so no dirt or anything is gunna stick to the trans fluid inside there.

 

Transmission fluid eats paint products.
The best corrosion preventive is simple soap and water to clean the area.
If you are really concerned about stopping and preventing rust, there are plenty of products that coat/protect, dry hard and are waterproof.
Short cuts when it comes to corrosion eradication/prevention will cut you short.

 

Eastwood has some cool kits & sets you can use. I plan on doing the frame in the coming weeks, being the weather is breaking. I get my powdercoat from them, an other odd things. They've got some stuff, an from what I've heard about these chassis kits, an seen. Sounds like the way to go, so I'm gonna try it.

Just use oil in a spray bottle. I have a 1951 Ford that has been sprayed with oil on the floor boards and cab CORNERS since new and they still look new. Now conduct some tests and tell me how oil will make it rust. WD-40 will work also but you have to keep it wet and that cost to much. Just use oil.

 

that sounds good. think ill just buy some cheap oil at walmart and spray it in there. what weight would you go with?

 

POR-15 anyone?
