Mike M, WD-40 is actually very effective in preventing rust. If you will go back and read the rest of my post instead of quitting at 40 you may understand. If not read on. You see Mike, almost all of our trucks are subject to not only moisture and salt but also DUST collecting in those places that end up rusting through. If there were no dust the moisture would quickly evaporate and rust would quickly stop and the factory protective coatings would last for many years. Since dust does accumulate it holds moisture and the protective coatings ultimately are penetrated. If you spray fluid film it will penetrate some of the mud but in many places it will not. Here is where the WD-40 comes in. As we all know WD-40 will penetrate and DISPLACE the moisture. The D of WD-40 stands for displacing. A generous spray of WD-40 will penetrate a lot of moisture filled mud, and then the fluid film or other oil can penetrate through the mud to the rusty metal. I have inspected some places here and there on my 12 year old Ford and found oil penetrated to the metal and no moisture. I actually prefer to use aerosol chain lube after the WD-40 because it comes out very thin, then sets up thick like grease. I allow the WD-40 24 hours to penetrate the moist mud.

If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
