Mobile 1 I have not had any...

    Dealing with the salt.

    I live in Central Michigan and spray baby oil in all of the openings that I can get to on my Ram and it helps with the rusting from inside the panels as far as the outside the only thing to do is rinse the truck off as often as you can weather permitting .

    Word of advice... Never few up your tank pass the 1st click!

    I top my tank off till I can not get more fuel in my truck , I started doing it as it is what I have done with the vehicles I used in emergency services and never had a problem with any of the vehicles so I don't buy into this .
