Fluid film under the body and on frame if you are in a road salt area.

June's Cummins of the Month is now open for entries! SUMMER FUN
Getting ready for winter!
As for some us winter is here, I was wondering if anyone did anything maintenance wise for winter. Im going to be replacing some u-joints and rotating tires soon and was wondering how people prepared for winter or if anyone does. While I have my truck in my shop im going to be servicing all the fluids and filters along with a new belt too. If there is anything that should be done or if anyone has suggestions it would be helpful.

I have seen some of that canned spray stuff but didn't know for sure how good it would, because I know some of the bed liner (herculiner) is not very good. Have you used the spray can stuff?Fluid film under the body and on frame if you are in a road salt area.
What im talking about is a lubricant/corrosion preventative. Not a fan of the undercoating in a can.
Yeah undercoating in a can is a joke. Fluid film is ok. Wasn't impressed. Sprayed down some spots this summer and it still rusted. That's with NO salt. Won't count on it working this winter.

well the way they spread enough salt and sand around here that in my opinion would be enough for two winters. I want to find something because my truck is completely rust free and don't want it to start to rusting. Do you know of any other stuff?Yeah undercoating in a can is a joke. Fluid film is ok.

sadly i think the best option in a can is the fluid film. just be generous with it i guess.
POR15 is top of the line but its a pain to apply.
dont forget a good fuel additive. anti-gel
i wanted to help my engine warm up a bit faster
but there was no way i was going to block off my rads.
so i got some rubber removable contact paper (like you would line a shelf with)
and covered my grill with it.
it comes off real easy but is just sticky enough to stay where i want it.
and it does help a lot.

at 30f this morning my truck was plugged in for a couple hours
with the grill covered in 3 blocks i was up to 160f
and it never goes over 190f
