I friend of mine has his paint all blistering on the rear fender near the chrome end piece, real bad and it's gonna rot fast if not fixed soon. ONLY six years old and he rides thru winter when ever it's over 45℉ .
Even the state trucks/plows are falling apart because of this treatment !!! Now I'm started again !!! I get so pissed when I see the rust on my truck !!!!
I hear ya seeing the side of my brown silverado white with salt and calcium all winter kills me, i have to crawl under it every spring and repaint my frame cause im not letting a 50k truck rust away if i can help it

ill have to takes some pics of my truck next time they salt, mind ya they salt even before it snow if its the forecast, then they salt all through the day, its disgusting. Buddy of mine who lived in a culdesac had to sue his town because all the salt ran down the road into his property and turned his well water into salt water!

A week ago Friday in OKC, the 6th, it was -3* that morning. Five days later it got up to 78* and tied the record high set in 1903.....

Had it dyno tuned in 2012, and it did 79.5 HP. Didn't get the torque numbers.

Ya'll and your warm weather ..... Some days it's only been as high as the 50's but usually accompanies with rain. Then it drops to the low 30's when its clear.
