I left a quote not so long ago - my sons working on our Cherokee. Again, if our could see what your video has done as a catalyst for younger kids getting dirty, learning and using tools during COVID, I think you’d be awestruck. As virtual learning commences and waffles, we’ve created our own self-imposed Vo-Tech program. As a stay at home Dad, I’ve found my own dormant competence put to use - teaching a hands-on working process from start to finish, safely and properly. Thank You, Again. 🇺🇸.

Thanks for posting like the clear no bs directions and good lighting and angles so we can see and hear what we need to and get the job done! Also just a warning to viewers When degreasing rear end differential area be careful NOT to spray the u joints on driveshaft many drivers forget or delay lube maintenance since many newer cars and trucks are "non serviceable" meaning they don't have zerk or grease gun fittings...but after 100k miles these parts all but dry up so be sure to grease any moving parts as needed not with wd40 but at least a small tub of hi temp grease and some latex gloves you can make a small pin hole in rubber stick a syringe type fitting in there to really pack bearings bushings and joints and help them work and last longer.

Hats off to all the work you did, I have done the same on 1st gen tundra's but I will never do it again. Here's why, whenever you paint over metal that is joined together you will trap some rust, which will find it's way out by bubbling up and rusting from within. I have found that knocking the scale off and hitting with fluid film or oil is exponentially better option.

I used krud cutter on an old john deere tractor when I dismantled it. cleaned the frame and applied this stuff. works great. took the rust off in no time. primed and re-painted. on the muffler it was very effective.

Hello friend, I wanted to know about the preparation of linseed oil and wd40 the proportion to add? also must you first heat the linseed oil well and then add the wd40?

Yess, the rust treatment chemical is what I needed. My car has a lot of rust in the frame and unfortunately, I don't have enough time before winter to sand everything and do a perfect job.

Do you rinse off the crud cutter before painting or is the metal safe to paint aith it still on the metal?

@4DIYers

Nope, you leave it on. According to their label, it's able to protect metal for up to one year without paint.

Question: Would this be vastly superior to using a rust converter? I have a 71 F250, light surface rust on the frame and underbody. After wire wheeling a 1/3 of this frame, much of the original factory black paint is still present; the bottom of the bed is still solid everywhere can't say the same for the cab... No rust scale really (no chunks or large flakes). Would this Krud Kutter seep into any bolts and hard to reach places? Such as between the frame rails and the bed of the truck where I cannot wire wheel? I do not have the space to remove my bed other wise I would. I have concerns rust converters are a band-aid fix. I have read other have experienced rust development under rust converter applications. I am skeptical the rust converter will only convert the top layer of rust, but I am also skeptical of others making such statements without having done a thorough enough paint prep job. This is a daily driver (only vehicle) and I live near the coast so rust is a biggy and grows rapidly during the foggier months. Should I just wire wheel the under body of any loose rust and then coat with linseed/bar&chain oil periodically until I have the time and space to take the bed off (and a steel camper shell) although this could be years.. I appreciate any rust from anyone! Ha.. Response* I left that there as I thought that typo was funny... So much rust in my eyes.

@4DIYers

2 жыл бұрын

Typically from what I've seen, people only use a rust converter with next to no metal prep which is why it fails eventually. Prepping the metal takes care of that outer layer, try to get it as clean as possible. For those missed or hard to reach areas, the rust converter is just an added step of protection. The paint I used also has rust inhibiting qualities, so it furthers that protection. I'm going to assume your truck doesn't have a boxed frame which makes life a lot easier too. Once that paint has hardened, I would oil spray the underside too. You're basically providing multiple layers of protection, if something was missed in one step, it'll be covered in the next step. The ideal situation would be stripping whatever you can, then having it media blasted. But you're in the same situation as me. The frame still looks great, I haven't had any issues with peeling paint or rust showing up. You'll have good steel on your truck, it's a much better base than compared to the Toyota.

I always said that this kind of protection is better/faster than giving it to pro mechanics. I don't mean to say that we should avoid pro services in general , but in this case they would sand it and dismantle the whole structure, keep Your car for a week and ask 50x of the actual price You just paid for the stuff used, while the protection is still the same.... Besides, I'm not so convinced about sandblasting undercarriage like they tend to do everywhere and ripping all the factory protection at the same time. None of the bridges nor ships I've seen were sandblasted, they're only treated with proper paints....and they stay for ages! Good job!

Great video.

I have used waste vegetable oil (from restaurants fryers) mixed with new motor oil as it is know to polymarized and create problems when we use them as fuels. You mix the two and add some solvent to thine them out...then drive down the dirt road for dust to stick to it and let dry for a day. Not sure how it compares to other methods but it has the benefit of using it when you don't have the time to remove all the rust perfectly like some other processes. I can't compare to other products but I thought it worked pretty well. It would be interesting to see a comparison to other products. I did roughly 25% veggy oil 25% motor oil 50% thinner......but could be mixed thinner and thicker for different areas.

When the rear end has that much rust on it, is it still good? Or could the housing be structurally compromised?

Probably not but it might get pinholes and leak

Sorry I meant it should be structurally OK

This one is fine, you do need to inspect it for any pinholes or areas where oil residue maybe present. If oil residue is present, wash it with brake cleaner, then leave it for a day or two to see if it comes back. Toyota diffs are known for rotting out too. If you find that's the case, it can be repaired. Aftermarket diff covers are available which can be welded on. You can make your own or find a rust free used replacement. Any excessive rusting, it's the metal deteriorating, so it won't be as strong as compared to something that's rust free. Then again I've seen rust free axles crack in certain situations.

Did you have to rinse off the Krud Kutter, or is it supposed to be painted over afterward?

Surface can be damp with water when applying krud kutter, better for the application. Can be painted over once it’s dry. No need to do anything prior to painting over the suface with krud kutter applied

I treat all new parts with rustoleum paint and so far I like the results and get compliments. Get it before it rust.

What’s a good damp primer to use on a semi frame for minor rust?

I watched some video a while back of a guy doing a classic resto who used this “internal frame” rust treatment kit. Probably messy as all heck. Would have to be something worth doing or something you plan on driving the wheels off of. 😋

If you paint it while it's all assembled like that, are you still able to open those parts later? Or does the paint seal it up?

No issues with pulling anything apart.

This is an awesome tutorial - thank you so much! I am going to try this same thing with Krud Kutter and with implement pain, but I have a question. If I only have spots of rust on my frame, should I still grind my whole frame down to bare metal and then use this process, or only do it on the rusty spots?

No problem, happy to help! I would just clean up the affected rust spots. The spots with paint still have a good bond so scuff up the surface with sandpaper and apply the paint right over that.

"surface tension" "rust inhibiting" "disperse moisture" - NERD ALERT! subscribed

This is a good method whilst using quite of bit of elbow grease.

Thank you! Definitely worth the hard work, peace of mind knowing the frame has some protection.
