If your going to use a penetrating oil to loosen rusty crap --- a fresh 50/50 mix of acetone and dextron-III is the absolute best --- PERIOD. Everything else in inferior, so if that don't do the trick then I suggest you get out a benzine torch and heat it up till it starts to glow red.


-- Those are all well proven products that work and work well on trucks. I use the corrosion-x when working with people here in the driveway during an engine reman. Just ask Mr. Waterloo how well Corrosion-X works in keeping all those nice shiny metal components from inside the engine away from rust during those weeks of heavy rains while his engine was in a thousand pieces and exposed to the elements.

I use the heavy duty marine spray on my truck and spray it down with about 3 - 4 cans about 2 times a year onto all those exposed surfaces that like to rust in winter. Truck has more than a million miles on it and still looks great.

i know a couple guys who use lithium grease spray you find at the truck stops in winter. they will spray the truck down before hitting the salt and ice and it helps a lot too, especially when it comes time to wash the truck. The buildup comes right off, then spray again.
