Well I was looking at my truck today and notice some paint pealing on the bottom of the door and some rust comin on the inside below the rubber seal! It's a 05 f250 I have had two years! Even seen brown on the inside of the front t fenders were metal is spot welded together! I really hate the crap pennsylvania dumps on the interstates! It's freaken calcium we all know what it does to rims! It's worse than salt I think cause it gets in every nook and cranny! Makes me mad! Then for a new truck they want 60000+ be time it's paid for it will be swiss cheese in this state! Somedays I think about moving just because I like older vehicles and want them to last!

Nothing rusts out here in Southern (from Albuquerque south)New Mexico. It's so dry we have six year old frogs that haven't learned to swim yet !!!
Calcium chloride and magnesium chloride are what they use and they are wreaking havoc with vehicles. Im a mechanic for a commercial truck fleet and this stuff is causing corrosion issues like never before. It doesn't wash off easily and is a smaller molecule that gets into areas salt never did. Also it attacks aluminum aggressively and has caused many dangerous air brake valve failures, many corrode from the inside out where it cant be inspected for. Just the tiny bit that gets sucked into the air compressor then corrodes the system from the inside out. And even sealed wiring gets corroded bad with this stuff and its incredible wicking abilities. It just plain sucks and is costing us all big bucks

Get a bucket of oil spray and lay it on every nook and cranny you can find...then do it again in 6 weeks...then again in late summer.
Next you'll only need to hit it once, and for every year after...I have a 1993 F150 that's like. new because of liquid smegma spray. Yes, it's a pia to work on, but it has ZERO rust. It enjoys the same salt/monkey p1ss environment that your truck does.

Up on the farm we would spray the begabbers out of the under frames with used motor oil. What I do now is buy one of those hand held sandblaster guns from HF. Fill the plastic bottle with your choice of oil. Cover rubber parts and brakes ETC. Next spray into everywhere you can think of.

Not to be jerk, but it isn't the calcium. It's the chloride bonded to it. Calcium chloride is a salt, just as sodium chloride is. Calcium chloride, however, has 2x the chloride. CaCl2 vs NaCl. Th
Vehicles last way longer now. You are upset about rust starting on a 10 year old truck. 35 years ago, that same rust would have been showing in 3 years. In the 70's, Chevy trucks just about left the factory rusting. It is sad to see it start, but it is the law of atrophy. My newest vehicle is an '01, and it is starting to get cancer in the rocker panels, but it has done well for the 12 years and 170K I have put on it, has 208K total.
Well, I do not know if it's available anywhere near you, but I would recommend Krown Rust Control, look them up, if you are lucky there may be one near, well worth the $150 a year to have it sprayed, every year, it will stop the current rust and prevent more from starting. I have no financial interests with this company, but have my vehicles treated now, and will continue to. It is the only way I know of to protect your car from the internal rust, including protecting brake and gas lines. Check them out.
