Most satisfying video. Silverado Frame rust removal, RUST PROOF STUDY

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Got this truck for nothing. Fuel lines and brake lines have been replaced few months before this video. Doing long term study using 7 different rust proofing on different section of the frame: Oil, Grease, Wax, Por15, Eastwood, Rust-Oleum Rubber Paint, 3M Rubber paint. Stay tuned.
Here is the link to 5 year rust update video trying 7 different methods:

    Using that pneumatic chisel is BY FAR the best way to get rid of rust on any sort of structural steel. Forget the needle scaler, they are a waste of time. Hit that with a 4,5 “ wire wheel after and put on 2 coats of POR15. And youre golden

    I'm buying a 2003 Astro van in pretty great shape....for $2600..... ExcEPT the rust of the frame is pretty aggressive (but no holes or anything that bad). (I'll be happy if the van lasts me 2 years.) Should I NOT buy it? If I do buy it, do I need to FIGHT / clean up all that rust? (Parking it on grass exacerbates the rust, is that correct?)

    All in how you protect your investment. I've seen 2010 Tacomas with horrific rust, my buddy has an 08 F-150 with scary frame rust due to frame paint flaking offing, and I've owned a Honda Accord that rottted out despite how nice the body looked. I put it on a lift and traded it in to a dealer a couple months later. These days, any brand other than Toyota will be fairly rust resistant. You might get a free year or two. After that, make sure you get it cleaned and undercoated correctly. I have a 2014 Silverado that's 100% rust free, frame-body-suspension. All clean. It cost me 20 minutes a year and a can of Fluid Film.

    yup. sorry to all of you that believe differently. Don't fool yourself. Its not the Chevy, its not the Ford but rather the lack of doing your chores by means of a fresh water pressure rinse the next day it stops snowing, the roads are dry AND the lack of applying any sort of oil or lanolin spring and fall. or prepare yourself to pony another 50 grand for any overpriced truck for the next 72-84 months. until they hot dip the frames, and outfit with aluminum bodies, stainless lines, rotors, banjo bolts etc, Ile stick to the fore-mentioned and continue driving a rust-free 02. $35/gal of fluid film and $5 at the car wash is short money in the long run.

    People keep blaming salt. BS. Salt is a known if auto companies haven't learned to cope with that in a much better fashion after 120 years they need to get out of business. There are alloys that do quite well under that level of exposure. Why would they make a rig that would last if they can steal your money every five years for a new one? Sixty thousand for a thowaway truck? Only in the US does this make sense. They own the government and make the rules so it isn't likely to change. Trucks that you have to pull the cab to do a tune up? It just gets worse and worse and the price keeps going up. Take care. Doug

    Good video. Really demonstrates how bad these GM trucks can get. I pulled the bed on mine, pressure washed the entire frame, and coated with POR15. I had to weld in a couple of new rear cross members, as well. An industrial pressure washer will take rust and salt off almost instantly. You just have to be careful around delicate areas. Everyone rags on Toyota and their rusty frames, but the Dodge, Ford, and GM frames were just as bad in the late 90's/early 2000's. Had a buddy's 99 Silverado snap clean in half on the hoist. Cab in the air, tailgate on the ground.

    Speaking as someone with a lot of experience Sandblasting you can remove almost anything. It all depends on what media you are using and the pressure. The hardest thing to remove is the mill scale that comes on fresh steel from the factory and it won't stand up to 80 grit silica sand for long and less time using metal shot. That being said, you have to spend a lot of time masking off or removing wiring and hoses etc. and then you have to be very thorough blowing all the dust out before coating the surface. Sandblasting will do a better job but the time it takes may make the work prohibitively expensive.

    By the way the best way to do it is completely sand blast the frame to bare metal zinc coat it,epoxy coat and then put a urethane coating it will never rust again! it's an extremely expensive process because you have to strip the frame out of the truck to do it!!! so simpli it's not cost-effective!

I never washed or undercoated my truck and my dad did and both our trucks looked the same in seven years when we got rid of them, now he doesn't even wash his new one ever. I wash mine in the summer but I don't wax it because the frame will get all rusty and I'll be spraying it with undercoating to trade it in before the paint ever fades.

    Fluid film you vehicle once a year and you don't have to do car washes all winter. The absolute WORST thing to do in the rust belt is to park your car in a warm garage every night. You end up melting the salty slush stuck to the underside of your vehicle, and the additional warmth helps speed up the chemical reaction that forms the rust in the first place, plus the salty water seeps much deeper into the frame and body panels. Keep the vehicle outside in the cold and only wash it when you get a warm snap above 10-20 F.
