I have been afraid to use that liberally. If it works then great. I do use that on axles etc. just not under hood.

I have said this before: I literally spray the entire underside of the disco to "prevent" rust... It works! I put it on to the point its dripping off as well. Or hell, motor oil works as well. Just don't "soak" electrical wires. Anything to divert the water from eating away our steel frames.

Thats good to hear. It does work and work well. I figure since these trucks have an issue with dried up corroded connections it cant hurt at all

Thanks for the suggestion... Sprayed down a few areas under the hood and followed behind with a tight low pressure directional spray on a pressure washer. It made a huge difference.

I was thinking that since the chassis is so easy to reach mid-body that it would help to do some chassis paint. Looking through the forums it doesn't appear anyone else does that. Is there some reason for this?

Thats the way to use it. I'll bet my landy hasn't been this clean since new. Mud falls off easier too.

My motor has that new smell to it now.
