    Zinc annodes will draw the electrolysis away from the parent metal of the frame and deteriorate before the parent metal rusts, whether it be aluminum or steel.

    That teardrop thing is a sacrificial anode, it will erode rather than the chassis it is bolted too. Very common on boats and some land equipment. Quite a good idea, they are relatively cheap and they just sit there and save your chassis.

      Actually it isn’t very smart. Zincs only work when totally submerged in water and it’s usually only in salt water and where there is a lot of industrialization like paper mills, chemical plants or any other industry that uses a lot of electricity. I ran 3 big zincs on my lobster boat and everyone else runs zincs in my area and they’re gone within 6 months but my area has 2 paper mills and 2 chemical plants within a 30 mile radius. In areas where there isn’t any industrialization lobstermen don’t even run zincs on their boats and they have no problems. Plus I’ve don’t think zincs work in fresh water either.

    That little gadget (zinc anode) was probably for when the backed the SPY boat down into the water. It would help keep the frame from rusting/corroding.
    They probably had some on the SPY boat too.
    Since it was back in the 90's we need to ask Maxwell Smart just to be sure

    • @mikehunt3222
      @mikehunt3222 Год назад

      Problem is zincs only work while they’re totally submerged, so when they drove the truck out of the water they did nothing. Plus I’ve never seen a zinc eaten away on a boat in fresh water. Some over educated government idiot must have come up with that bright idea.

The zincs on my outboard at the lake have been on there for 10yrs and still look like new. I’ve been using zincs on my lobster boat for over 35yrs now and they’re gone within 6 months. Zincs on my outboard in the salt water last about a year because the lower unit isn’t in the water all the time, only when I’m out hauling traps or using it.

      @craigsowers8456 Год назад

      @@mikehunt3222 Gotcha and sorry if I wasn't clear ... you have Lobster boats so guessing you're from the Northeast. "Road Salts" come into play and once galvanic corrosion sets in, it never stops (unless fully neutralized chemically); which is why painting or oiling over an affected surface will merely drive it deeper ... it is "organic" and needs Oxygen to survive. With this truck being a "Fleet Purchase" by the USG, the "options" are pre-selected as they don't know where the vehicle will be "stationed" ... so ALL of the Fleet will have the Zinc anodes.

      @mikehunt3222 Год назад

      @@craigsowers8456 I understand that but zincs won’t work on a vehicle unless the zinc on that vehicle is totally submerged in salt water at all times. If they’re launching a boat with the truck as soon as they pull that truck out of the water and the zinc is exposed to the air it stops working. I could put zincs all over the inside of my boat and they won’t do a damn thing because they’re not submerged in the water. The zincs need the water to attract the electrolysis to them, as soon as they’re out of the water they stop working and do nothing even though they’re attached to the metal frame, IT WILL STILL RUST. You could probably even look this up on google but I’ve known this and experienced this for over 35yrs. When I pull my boat out of the water for 3 or 4 months a year the zincs stop being eaten away and anything steel on the boat starts to rust even stainless, depending on the kind of stainless will start to rust a little.

    If you offroad, you will need the longer brake lines. Picture driving through a deep ditch on a diagonal, the suspension will compress on one side and extend on the other far in excess of what it droops to on a jack. Believe it or not, the engineers that designed the system included the longer lines because they are needed.

    Actually Ford trucks were notorious for breaking studs (reference U-haul) when I made wheel studs we had to start testing them by cooking them in Hydrochloric acid and checking them with a magnifying glass, if the “header” (machine that made wheel studs) was slightly out of line on those studs there would be a small line at the head that you would see and would later crack. As to Ford wheel nuts coming loose they still do. After having to replace studs and wheels twice I now check my F350 every year in early winter. For some reason after the temperature change they tend to get slightly loose. (And yes they were properly torqued

    What does zinc anode do?
    Zinc anodes protect the metal parts of submerged structures by inhibiting the rate at which the metal corrodes. Sacrificial anodes are the main component in cathodic protection, a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal by setting it up as the cathode of an electrochemical cell.
    It maybe Government SOP to order zinc anodes on certain vehicles not knowing there they will be in service.
