Is this normal on a gm trucks ? Dealer told me this is normal to have those rust spots on a 4 months old truck, my ram was almost 4 years old when I trade it and was cleaner that my gmc is right now now at 4 months old

I'm afraid so, mine is doing the same thing.

Is undercoating still a thing?

 

[Duramaximus]

It's still a thing but most of it peels off during the first few car washes. Cheap stuff.

Don't know if this is still available. Bought a few cases back in '95. Outstanding product, but the epa probably regulated it out. You know the thing, the "good stuff" that works has to be eliminated.

I know the gm frame wax is available in spray and brush form. But you still have to do it every spring and deal with it everytime your under the truck.

Huh, just read the can. You know it's old when the product advertises that it's the ozone safe generation.

Nowadays is non gmo!

ETA... or global warming.

When it comes to fluids in the shop, if it doesn't cause some type of cancer it probably doesn't work. If you have to wear gloves and a facemask to use it....I'd assume it's good stuff lol

Stupid GM wax dipped frames.. Just start spraying the surface rust areas with fluid film as the wax wears off. They make rattle cans of it in black. It acts as a rust inhibitor and preventer.

yeah I think ram trucks have way better undercarriage protection , I really dislike this wax on the gm trucks.

I had some on my brand new 2022 Ram 2500 MegaCab.

Supposedly this stuff in the video is pretty good stuff!

 

[NukeSparky]

Looks like you dragged it over some rocks, that's going to rust any type of coated metal. Sand it out and re coat it with something. Its just surface rust.

Just had the underside of my ‘23 treated with a water based gel like product after my 2017 looked like a rust bucket. Figure it can’t hurt.

Fluidfilm ???

Fluidfilm ???

Not familiar with fluid film. It’s a local company and it is all he does. Gottsch’s Goo. Guy does a hell of a job.
