sure looks like salt...Can anyone please shed so information on what this white crusty stuff is? I'm in Houston Tx. I pick up my truck 1/21 from dealer after it sat on a train for 2 week before being delivered to the dealer . It had not rain hear before being deliver to dealer, nor has it been any rain since dealer received or I have owned it. The white stuff wipes offs , painted surfaces, anything made aluminum even the engine block has this crusty stuff on it.
WS issued 12-22-21 what they did between then and delivery to dealer 1-18-22 I don't know . unless they drove it in snow before getting to Houston.Does it taste like salt? Did you have any ice where they may have had to salt the lot; or use some other kind of de-icer?
In a MRI there is chiller basically a air conditioner to keep the components cold. The helium is minus 400 Celsius that is to keep the windings inside the magnet cold (650amps), but the gradients and the equipment cabinets need to be kept cold too. As they get older they get leaks and condensation builds up on the pipes, so I fold exposed film to direct the water to a drain. So I did the same when draining the oil to get over the crossbar and into the pan without a mess.I have used exposed film to redirect water,
huh?
Not salty taste like table salt. but I'm not from the north where I deal with them salting the roads, parking lots. etc. hell mine can't be the only truck they drove in the snow/ice anyone get new truck in the window time with that issue?WS issued 12-22-21 what they did between then and delivery to dealer 1-18-22 I don't know . unless they drove it in snow before getting to Houston.
Coming from someone that lives in the salt belt it def does look like dried up salt. It could also be some sort of limestone dust or something. I'm sure a truck hauler moved it at some point and it may have driven on some wet salty roads along the way and it splashed on it. One quick undercoat wash and ta da, it will be gone. Enjoy the new truck!Can anyone please shed so information on what this white crusty stuff is? I'm in Houston Tx.

Yep. Definitely looks like the delivery truck drove on a salty road.Coming from someone that lives in the salt belt it def does look like dried up salt.

dealer should have cleaned that upCan anyone please shed so information on what this white crusty stuff is? I'm in Houston Tx.

it wipes off the painted surfaces and do a lesser degree the aluminum fairly easy.I agree with others. Looks like salt. And a lot of it. I would give it a taste test. Wonder if the train was transporting salt too.
My water softener in my house. Once drain on the floor. And everything in the area metal. Looks just like that till I cleaned it up.
I agree with what the others are saying... these trucks are coming from Michigan in the winter... so whether they're driven a bit, loaded and then railroaded or put on a car carrier,they're definitely getting exposed to northern style snow and ice control. that looks like salt or even the sodium formate/potassium acetate that we use up here in some spots in Boston where salt cannot be used. i would take it to a good car wash you trust that gives the under-carriage a good washing. but how ever you choose to do it, i would get that stuff off sooner rather than later. i agree the dealer should have done that. but i def wouldn't wait.Can anyone please shed so information on what this white crusty stuff is?

I talk to them about today, tried to tell me it was moisture here in Houston, said so all the trucks and cars in your lot should have that too. Said he will get back to me.dealer should have cleaned that up
I have pressure washer , my plan is tomorrow to get under and do it my self. I just detailed the truck my self and since it's been raining here in Houston last couple days, I couldn't do it yet.
