    Now that you mention it this may not have the diff drop. They did it on the 2006 but it seems maybe he said the same thing you did about this one and the drop. I will have to double check with them. Any way to easily tell by looking underneath?
    Also does the diff drop hurt or is it just not needed at this lift height? What if it was lifted higher?
    Thanks.

    Feb 1st UPDATE
    DOG'S REVIEW. TRUCK HAS TO MUCH RUST!!!
    While it qualifies for the frame inspection there is rust all under the truck and while not visible from the outside is intruding on body panels also. Had my mechanic go over it after I noticed the rust I had not noticed before. We cleaned under the hood and that is where I first noticed it. :facepalm:
    Thankfully we only were test driving it and hadn't pulled the plug yet. Looks like we are off to look at another one.

    Wait...a 2014 with too much rust that qualifies for frame replacement? Is this what you’re saying? Where did the PO Park it, in a tidal wash?
    That’s hard to believe but glad you caught it before the ink dried.

    It's on the list to be inspected for the frame. Frame not overly bad but rust is everywhere else to. I don't think the last owner ever rinsed it off after driving in winter. It's a shame because the rest of the truck is beautiful.

    Since it’s rusty on the West coast, I wonder if it was imported from Canada. If it was, it would have this on the VIN sticker.

    Came from Ohio.
    If only the owner had used it.
    Looks like you could eat off the underside of the truck pictured.
    Won't do any good now though will it? You'd have to clean off all the old rust first wouldn't you?

    Yep. You'd have to get all the rust off before applying fluid film. Covering rust is never a good idea. it'll just keep getting worse under whatever you've covered it with.

    Not true.

    "FLUID FILM is not formulated to remove rust. However, if applied over existing rust, it will stop it immediately from spreading further. FLUID FILM will penetrate rust and rust scale to the base metal, loosening and easing in the removal process."

    I didn't know that.

    I didn't think anything would actually stop rust in its tracks. Thanks for info :thumbsup:

    And for anal mofo's like me it keeps your beautiful Kings and JBA UCA'S looking nice through the shitty Winter as well. I go out once a month and hose them off, wipe them down. Then blast them with Fluid Film again

    So since what I am seeing is mostly surface rust as verified by my mechanic if we pressure washed it and doused it in Fluid Film it would probably be OK? Stop the rust in it's tracks?
    If that's the case then I may have to think this over. Maybe I can get him to drop the price a grand or so.
    THANKS for the great info. :thumbsup:
