This is an incredible product and much better than any other oil undercoating on the market. I am up in New Hampshire and I put this on my "new to me" southern super duty this past October to protect it from rust. I would 100% suggest the black undercoating because it makes the undercarriage look new again and really protects the truck. Vast majority of the underside of my truck is still coated in the black oil after the winter, so it definitely can withstand heavy snow, rain, salt, brine, etc. Make sure to get into all the crevices of the truck (inside bedrails, in wheel wells/bedsides, inner rocker panels/cab corners, inside of door panels, etc). Me and three friends bought a 5 gallon bucket for four trucks and we had some left over. All it takes is a decent sized compressor (we used a 20 gallon compressor) and a cheap spray gun off of amazon (get a metal canister for the spray gun as well, so all the equipment is reusable). For reference, my crew cab short bed truck used about a gallon of oil and the entire underside was completed covered in a thick layer of oil. My friends and I will absolutely be using this product every single year to protect our trucks because it looks great and works very well.

I don’t own a power stroke (love the videos) but I bought my ‘05 Duramax from my grandpa and he put rust treatment on the truck every year since he bought it brand new due to Ohio winters. To this day there’s not a spec of rust that I can see and it still has the original rocker panels which are infamous for rust in the GM trucks. Cost $160 a year and I’m gonna continue to do the same. It’s an oil based product called Go-Krown I think.
One thing to add to the process is they make a multidirectional nozzle attachment for an aerosol can that gets into the body interior through the holes in the rockers and doors so you can coat it from the inside out.
Up in Central NY we have a product called Krown. Looks something like your product when applied. Should be used once a year and I have been having my trucks done for many years. Works great and creeps into all welds and joints. I even had my aluminum Super Duty done when new and after the first application just get the chassis sprayed every year. Keep them looking new.
I just use ATF with a little diesel fuel mixed so it pumps through a pump garden sprayer saves my work trucks from rusting. Do it every fall before winter in MI.
This a good product, made in my state of NH. We use fluid film, works excellent also. My 1997 f350 dually dump and 2002 f550 dually dump look and run like new !
Archoil makes a really good rust remover that can be pressure sprayed on and it blasts the rust off. I am having my rocker panels done soon. I think I would consider this stuff after I blast it with the Archoil.
I'm from Maine, have 3 trucks, 01 Excursion 7.3, 94 Bronco, 19 Ranger.., I've wiped with oil rags the Excursions & Broncos undercarriage since new, mint still, used fogging oil for the inner doors.going to look into this product for the new Ranger though, thx!
Make sure you apply some type of oil, either fluid film or something similar to the seams that are at the bottom of the tail gate and the bottoms of the doors. Salt does find its way in there and will rust out those body parts. Yes, they can be replaced without cutting and welding but might as well protect them while you can.
I'm from Ontario Canada, know all about rust, it's a big pain in the ass! Biggest reason why I left the automotive trade for the marine trade! Btw, nice haircut Mikey!!
Life here in the rust belt definitely sucks. Even powder coated parts suffer the same fate. The rust just goes right underneath it. Of course when I was in Texas, the opposite problem of every bit of plastic turning crispy was the issue, even all the gears for the HVAC actuators just turned to dust. The heat just nukes anything not made of metal.
Bill do a video on those of us who are getting about 2 months per gallon right now. I had to drive somewhere the other day and boy it started rough and ran terrible for about 20 mins.
Haha yeah here in New York a 14 is almost ready for the junk yard 2 more years an the frame will be so rotted when you pick it up it will snap In half lol
Hi Bill. I know this is off-topic, but do you have any videos/advice for E-Series Cutaway or Vans and how to approach working on them. I know you spoke about the 6.0L leaving ambulances stranded by the side of the road when they first came out and there are a lot of 2004 - 2010 Cutaways and Vans for sale with 6.0L's. I have looked at a couple of used Shuttle Buses, Ambulances, and Vans to purchase for conversion to a tiny home or motorhome, and we could all use some advice. Thanks for sharing your experiences. The information is invaluable.
@@foxbodyguyeightyeight3672 Thanks for the advise. Hard to find info on the E-Series and maintenance. I figured that since Bill worked with ambulances, maybe he could shed some light on Ford E-Series. Consider me spooked enough not to buy one. Thanks
NEVER use rubber under coated even on new cars. When the water gets under it and it will. The moister CANNOT get out and accelerates the rusting process.
I personally use Krown, but I think most of these products are WORLDS better than nothing. Like anything else, proper maintenance (oil based undercoat after a good pressure washing in spring) will make your vehicle last much much longer.
I've lost all of my previous vehicles to rust.... I live outside of Buffalo NY and the deathly salty brine they spray over the road is unreal. Makes me never want to buy a brand new truck EVER, unless I move out west/south. Undercoating does help, but the rust still reveals itself after awhile on exterior panels regardless (rear wheel wells etc), your exhaust, and Trans cooler lines etc. Because the heat from some components burns off the undercoat product. My 2009 Chevy frame is still factory black but some areas as mentioned above still get affected. Only a matter of time before the salt takes you tinto the garage to do work/or the junk yard. Its fucking 2020, I believe there should be a biodegradable rust inhibitor they can add to the road treatments. Why on earth would you spend 55,000+ for a new truck up here to have it turn into a rusty piece of shit in a few years.
Rust is like The Terminator to your vehicle.....it can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse....and it absolutely will not stop until your truck is dead!! Damn, Mikey got a buzz cut! Hard to get your hair cut right now!
Rust sucks...yes is does. It's rampant up here in michigan. Much of the rust here is from laziness and carelessness. Rocker panel and wheel arch replacements are common here that keep autobody shops busy up here.
You've never worked on a vehicle with that rubberized undercoating. Don't get it even on a new one. Set up an appointment if you live in the rust belt with a Krown rustproofing store then go to dealer pick up that new car / truck and drive it right to the Krown store. Then every year get it re-done like they suggest. No matter the type of oil you use change the oil every five thousands miles . Pick a brand and stick to it. If you pick a Toyota, Honda or a Ford with the right motor you could get 250,000 with out even blinking an eye.

Been using that stuff for 3 seasons now. Works amazing
I’ve also heard fluid film working just as well.
That's what I use. Its readily available @ Napa.
NHOU is way better
One thing to add to the process is they make a multidirectional nozzle attachment for an aerosol can that gets into the body interior through the holes in the rockers and doors so you can coat it from the inside out.
great review and tips
only draw back is working on the truck after. messy tools and hands!

New Hampshire OU is the best!!! Had my ‘15 6.7 done by them in November!!

Ive always wanted to try that
yep i o most bought a 96 dodge 2500 diesel 260k 4x4 lifted tires, for 5500 frame wasnt bad body was rusty and worn, i passed glad i did
I have rust prevention on my Ford Excursion Frame work done last year!
This a good product, made in my state of NH. We use fluid film, works excellent also. My 1997 f350 dually dump and 2002 f550 dually dump look and run like new !
Make sure you get into all them cavities rust from the Inside Out
Rust never sleeps. It's like a nagging wife after weeks of lock down.
Archoil makes a really good rust remover that can be pressure sprayed on and it blasts the rust off. I am having my rocker panels done soon. I think I would consider this stuff after I blast it with the Archoil.
Here in the east coast of Canada it’s just the way of life to have your vehicle undercoated every year. Chineezium, hahahahaha
Heated Bare and Chain oil once a year. Works great. Cools and sticks. But, I pay the fella to do it. $120 to do my '07 Ranger. No rust.
I'm from Maine, have 3 trucks, 01 Excursion 7.3, 94 Bronco, 19 Ranger.., I've wiped with oil rags the Excursions & Broncos undercarriage since new, mint still, used fogging oil for the inner doors.going to look into this product for the new Ranger though, thx!
Ive used fluid film and lps 3 for years, works fantastic, not one spec of rust inside the rockers or anywhere else the product is applied

I live in Illinois and will check them out!!
I use motor oil and atf mix to uncoat my trucks. Also wool wax works good to
great video. I've had good luck with FluidFilm used in a similar way. I think i'll try this on the next truck. Thanks for the info.
Great video Bill.
Great video. I gotta get me some of that!
Bill do a video on those of us who are getting about 2 months per gallon right now. I had to drive somewhere the other day and boy it started rough and ran terrible for about 20 mins.

In half lol
That F150 is nice
My 2012 f150 came from Wisconsin and the rockers have rust inside. Have already fix the cab corners. Thinking about getting a 7.3

Should you cover brakes or any other components? I have a 97 expedition i'd like to last a while longer up here in Michigan! Thanks Bill!

Mineral product...will body mounts, electrical wiring harnesses etc degrade and become brittle with this product? Honest question
@powerstrokehelp Bill your a true bo
2:27 - I think he means the Blizzard of '78.
The only people that can truly appreciate a greasy oily underbody are northerners! (this is my neck of the woods :) )
I'm a fluid film fan. I don't use anything with petroleum distillates.
BOB , I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE FORD TRUCK HAD NO RUST , IT LOOKED PRETTY BAD UNDERNEATH LIKE IT WAS NEVER UNDERCOATED ?

HARRISON MAINE! H TOWN BABY!
how much do you charge to have this done
greasing a pig isn't just a southern thing. Us northern county fairs have that too. Its more of a country folk thing than southern thing.
Mikey looks like Ray Donovan
If Your in Ontario Canada rust check or krown rust control saves your vehicle
Where is this shop located
Rust like an ex-wife!😂. True story!
You have another money business on your hands.

So I guess if you on dirt road it would be a mess
thats what i was thinking also but we dont seem to have to much of a rust problem here in northern idaho
Gas!?!?
"there's one thing"
Blizzard of 77?
I'll stick with fluid film. I can get it for $32 a gallon.
Rust is cancer. It’s a terminal case for every vehicle.
Should be wearing a respirator
Blizzard of 1978
Oil soaked rags in the doors andspray the bottom of your truck with used motor oil/trans fluid problem solved
Tha shit don’t work if the undecoat gets a hole and sand goes in the whole you fuck it will rust out and you won’t even see it
You should see my bed, not much left
C'mon man your getting rid of the whole can for that!! If that's the case I should just throw my whole fuckin truck away 🙄🤦
