Sam1647545489 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I was wondering what is a good way to keep salt off the motor of my truck this winter. Last winter I would wash my truck after every plow, but still today it has some crusty salt film left in the motor, even after washing and washing. So whats a good product to remove salt so my new truck doesnt rust out in the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 anything you put on the motor will probably evaporate off with heat, engine bay wise it would be difficult to wax the entire bay, not impossible but difficult. maybe hit the engine bay with some pam cooking spray or something??

Guest 614Streets Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 put the truck on a lift after a thorough powerwash and drying and buy 2 cans of white lithium spray lube. spray the entire underbody , frame and suspension as well as oil pan and block. do not drive the truck for 24-48 hours , let the lube turn yellowish and dry out. this will provide a layer between metal and the salt. also use on the top half of the engine jax wax blue silicone. wash mildly through the winter with power washer and in spring wash more agressively and use baking soda in your 5 gallon soap bucket to pour over engine bay componenmts. repeat process next fall. process is very similiar to that of cosmoline. or you can try to find for the underbody spray cosmoline.

Buck531 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Just get a couple cans of Rhino liner and spray your engine/engine bay . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tindall2006 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Mercury corrosion guard, or Corrosion ex... spray all over. We used this on outboard engines in the ocean to prevent salt from corroding the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
