Scraping rotational noise from wheels? Louder when towing boat.

Beyond repair? Not quite. That really isn't that bad for the area he's in. A Harbor Frieight Needle Scaler would clean that right up. Seen alot worse in the north east. I would replace the backing plate too while I'm there. Pretty common for them to rust out on all trucks.

That is calming me. I only paid 16k with 69k miles, 2011. I figure if people in Cuba manage to keep up their Chevrolets from 1950, I may be able to manage it. I just can’t afford anything else at the moment.

That's why I don't drive my 18 in the salty brine winter months. Sad what the chemicals do to vehicles.

I use Salt-Away to rinse the boat after a day out, started to rinse the truck under, at least to minimize further damage. I will use it in the winter.

Funny you say that. My buddy uses it. And I looked into it so now I get all kinds of info on it from social media. I'm destined to try it I suppose. From corrosion tests I've seen it works.

Yes, definitely better than nothing. Thank you for all the tips. I will replace all rear brake hardware. Are you a mechanic? I am I. The meadowlands area.

Looking at PIC reminded me why at least once a week I always tried to clean the bottom of my vehicles because of the salt crapola, etc, not just from the road, but the Atlantic also. ., Well before I got older and learned about Krown, Fluid Film and other items. FTR, I am a Shore Kid,

OP: As a minimum I would replace all those brake parts and the back shields also. Another thought complete rear axle replacement, But all depends upon what U wanna put back into an apparently rusted older vehicle. IF I ever moved back home (as in NJ), I would be Fluid Film coating or Krown coating under my vehicle. I have a TEXAS truck and it definitely is not set up to run in those conditions ref road salt etc.

CAVEAT: If the back that bad, how does the front look to include suspension, brakes, rotors, etc,., hmmm.

I agree and decdied to replace everything. Already ordered all parts. I also sprayed rust remover, a but planning to coat as much as I can with something. I always though the back is worse, since the wheels tend to throw backwards. It is pretty bad everywhere. Complete rear axle sounds expensive, will skip that. Again, I only use the truck to put my boat in the water and light cargo.

Hey, wateva works for U. My only thought is safety for U, family and other PPL.

begin spraying every nut, bolt and other fastener with
PB BLASTER, every day or two.

Do not bother with WD-40
WD means Water Displacer

I appreciate that. I know, but money is really limited now. My goal is to save enough until I can just replace the truck. Thank you!

I will Do that. Yesterday I removed the spare tire, and wire brushed anything I could reach and painted with rust-oleum rust reformer.
