    Morning all, sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere. It's my first truck and plan on keeping it long term. I wanted to know what products you all recommend to protect the undercarriage of the truck long term and what kind of maintenance to do regularly to prevent rust problems. I noticed rust on my front disk brakes this morning and only owned the truck 6 months.

    Already did the ac drain mod/fix.

    Thanks

    Once you spray film on it you'll never want to crawl under it again.:p

    Fluid film for the win. Stay away from anything that hardens over time as it will trap moisture.

    Fluid film, I usually apply it twice a year.
