Frame Rust Treatment Recommendations?

[MariRam]

Just purchased a 2019 Laramie. Want to protect it from rust and salt up here in New England. What treatments do you recommend to keep rust off the frame? Can you do an adequate job DIY or is this best left to a professionals?

What (or who?) do you guys use for undercoating / rust protection?

Looking to get my truck "protected" soon, as it's only a few days old and I want to get it done sooner rather than later. I've seen the rubberized undercoating sprayed all over the place by shops that didn't seem to care where it landed. Is there a product, or place, that you guys recommend that...

Rust protection and ceramic coating, is it worth it?

My new truck is here and I was planning on doing a ceramic coating to help protect it. I am in and out of steel mills and go through some nasty black water and sludge. I’d like to protect the truck the best I can. I got a quote from Ziebart for $1799. This includes rust proofing...

2nd thread doesn’t support undercoating on our trucks (some say it makes things worse) so just rinse the underside periodically. Thread mostly debates the merits of ceramic paint treatments - opinions vary but many use and like them.

First thread supports oil based (not rubber based) undercoating periodically, though some still say washing is enough/preferred.

My plan therefore is to install my rear wheel well liners, rinse the underside periodically, and call it good.

Thanks for those links, I too wonder about this. In the UK its a sworn thing to have done to Japanese imports (I believe they don't salt roads there). My F150 which was just over 2 years old when I sold it and had visible surface rust on pretty much all the underside and I wondered about the longevity and how you all get along. I suppose it depends on how long you plan to keep it.

We life at the beach with all of the salt air. Run the truck through the carwash weekly. The ones that have underbody sprayers. That will help a lot

You can also do Krown once a year for 149 for a truck.

Fluid Film. Garages do a undercoating for about $150.

I second the fluid film. I bought a do-it-yourself kit on Amazon with all the hoses and everything to get up in the panels.

I think rubber type treatments may make rust worse by allowing salt and water to get under them
