Hello Everybody,
I have a few weeks off in coming months and was hoping on doing some preventative maintenance on my truck (03 LTD V8). Currently, the frame has a decent amount of rust and I am hoping to treat it before it becomes a problem. I have found a few threads on this but most of them are either discussing new frames or frames with really significant rust. My plan for now is as follows:
1. Pressure wash the frame including the frame inside and out.
2. Wire brush lose scale and wipe down with a degreaser.
3. Paint exterior with a rust converter (thinking coroseal) and get some eastwood internal coating for interior of the frame.
4. Fluid Film
I have heard mixed reviews on rust inhibitors, some say they will just trap existing rust and others say they work well. Would I be better off with a wire brush and just fluid film? If anybody has and experience with this let me know!
