Oil Undercoating my Truck so it won't Rust. Easy and Foolproof Method. 

Northern Vermont here, been using Bar&Chain oil for over 25years and never looked back...

@Abdul-Kabir Alegbe, yea, it scares me when so many people don't even do that when they're just lifting with a standard floor jack. Then I've seen some people use them but they're not level and/or they've extended them too much.

@@zenithperigee7442 I have an innate distrust of standing under this lift. Even though I know they have failsafes. All it takes is a mistake....

Yes! And I love that he always uses eye protection.

Agreed! That is a good example of good workmanship. Cudos.

He did it for the risk of tilting?

For sure, I really like CRC Corrosion Inhibitor. It stays on far longer than the oil based products, I can usually get 2 winters out of a single application.

Is there 5 gallon buckets of the Cosmoline rp-342p ?.

@@jacobhammer7389 yup, Cosmoline Direct is one site to get them at.

I hated trying to get that shit off. It's good but mixed with other oils, fluids, grease, wax it's perfect. Semper Fi. 0331.

Cosmoline is the best I love it

My 1940 Ford pickup learned about this very thing. Dear ol dad left it parked in his yard for 23 years, too stubborn to give it back to me because he was pissed off that I left home at 18. Complete rot underneath, absolutely destroyed the frame and sheetmetal of a show winning truck.

How would you go about doing that the cans and gallon is medal no ?

My Mother was from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and they used a mixture of Sand & Salt. The Road Commission kept barrels filled with it along the road side at hills where folks tended to slip.

That's on the winch cable of heavy equipment. When it gets a frayed spot it will poke through glove and will hurt and be bad for a week or more. Have to squeeze it to get puss out. That's great but nasty stuff. Many times get stabbed by a wicker logging.

I'm confused so it didn't work? What kind of grease

@@joshfixall7938 it worked where they sprayed the grease but the rest of the car rusted away

@@joshfixall7938 Read my recipe above. 1 qrt any new used oil, 1 qrt any new used trans fluid, 1 tube or tub of grease, 1 wax ring toilet gasket. Mix and heat in pan, with torch etc NOT IN WIFE'S KITCHEN WITH HER POTS. She will be mad. U can add whatever u want to it. Spray, brush etc. If need thinner use a lil boiled linseed oil. Or mor fluid of any kind. Mix and check thickness.

👍

Been doing it for 25 years on my 97 F350 and it's still rust free

​@@TheRoadhammer379 does it eat bushings and rubber?

I'm surprised you're not pushing Krown 😉

Hey Road hammer, when you think about it saving your car from an early trip to the scrap yard is the most environmental thing you can do. What you do is cheap and it works. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

When your ready to sell that truck I’m in pa too. Give me a holler, that type of truck is my dream truck and would love to take an immaculate truck off someone’s hands. Keep me in mind, thanks.

@@TheBarbellBandit Idk what you think of this, since I do the same thing you do, but Project Farm and other sources seem to say that used motor oil becomes acidic and actually somehow makes the rust worse? I dunno about that. But I've heard that, instead of motor oil, that using transmission fluid/oil is better because it's a natural detergent and anti oxidizer. And will supposedly stick just as good as motor oil.

Read my recipe in comments. Live in western Pa. South Pittsburg.

I can use used engine oil for the underbody of my truck? And then don’t wash the underbody at all in the winter right?

I found it with the cummins conversion on the chevy 3500

@Rv99, yea the first one I saw of his was the "I Bought a Repo'd Mercedes..." and then I watched the one of the old "free" Sears riding mower. Then I saw maybe the one ZILA mentioned, he was putting the red diesel engine in the white-body truck. And then I got back on the two Mercedes where I couldn't believe this man by himself, swaps the engine and transmission between these vehicles and has it running. I think he made a great choice too in selecting the other rims. Idk I was hooked by then lol and have just been randomly watching different videos like the one he did in Feb where he and the "Rural Vermonter" made a snow plow to put on his truck!

@@zenithperigee7442 right around the time he build the snowplow he also build the all aluminum flatbed for the truck he just rust proofed ….. looks amazing! Just like store bought

I hadn't heard of him, but I can see the resemblance!

Yes but it won't last long term. If so they won't have return business. Make urr own and save money for important things in life, family.

Thanks Steve! Yeah, motor oil probably does a better job of creeping than this stuff

Let me ask you; How often do you have to apply these coats? I live in MI where Winter Road Salt definitely does a number on my vehicles!!

@@whammond511 I hear of people doing it yearly or every other year I wanna get mine coated before the snowfall

@@damiengreen3772 Eric O at South Main Auto does his yearly. He’s in southern central NY and I believe in his area they use brine, especially on the unpaved roads.

Old time always told me to use transmission fluid would do a good job! Than found a dirt road and drive up and down on it !😂

U use Ospho? What I use. Great stuff. And it's not harmful to humans or planet

Last summer we purchased a great shape 09 F150 . I needle scaled any rust underneath. Sprayed with phosphoric acid. Let dry a few days. Then sprayed with hot mixture of wax rings , linseed oil and ATF . Stopped the rust in its tracks

Bedliner is great for holding moisture and salt, it's been tried in the northeast by many and fails miserably.

@@TheRoadhammer379 that's probably why it started flaking off then ,because I know that chemical they use will rot out a frame just like salt, my Volvo had caking corrosion all over it and the airbag suspension was dry rotten it self had to have all the rubber bushing replaced as well. I'm glad I was only hauling expedited freight with it.

Thank you, but I will have to decline, I only have Wi-Fi connection for my phone due to some health issues.

Thank you!

Yeah, I bought the rocker panels and cab corners a year ago. It's on the to-do list. I definitely plan on recording it 👍
