Your right on track! bought mine off show room floor and I will die with it.. mine is 2003 quad 2500.. yep brand new!
One thing: chemicals that break up dust and grime etc... are also braking up your skin and lungs over time. So to make yourself last as long as your truck, you have to protect yourself (gloves! Facemask!)
Let me know when your looking to sell some trucks buddy
Only those who love their trucks feel this level of detail. 🤙🏾
Same, mine is on Instagram @alloyedlloyd
I love my truck but I live in the rust belt on a gravel road.
Kind of hard to keep it not rusty when there is surface rust on the whole frame.
@@gingie5246 hey man, just take a sander and sand the whole undercarriage and then undercoat it,then you will have a rust free beautiful truck.
I own a 79' rx7 and i clean the underbelly on a monthly basis.. rust kills trucks , cars, gates, fences , etc. they need upkeep.
@@gingie5246 fluid film or wool wax and you’ll never have rust issues
You're undercarriage is cleaner than most people's paint😂
Honestly probably true haha
That’s absolutely true. Most people’s paint is in horrible condition. But also they ain’t car nuts.
You misspelled taint 🤣
There’s more dirt in my bedroom 😂
absolutely better than mine, but my truck was bought used and the paint was already bad, although I do want to repaint it, I wont because a new paint job costs way more than the dang thing is worth
I’m all for this but that truck was not dirty😂
Facts, looks clean as hell lol
LOL - yeah, that was my first thought: that undercarriage was pretty pristine for dirty.
after cleaning id recommend if you have a box frame using 3m cavity wax and spraying that inside the boxed areas and anywhere theres an over lap then use that or fluid film but before all of that id use por 15 on any rust starting after you wire brush the loose stuff off then use like a rustoleum paint to paint it all then after thats done as routine maintenance id use the cavity wax and fluid film i have a tacoma and the frame looks new i also have a 73 f250 highboy and the underneath looks new on that and i live in pa in the salty road area of the united states that truck was a frame up restoration tho it did have sone rust but i didnt own it from new its rust free now
Great video. One thing I was surprised with was that you didn't remove the spare tire to clean it and around it. In the video you could see dirt on it. With how thorough you were with the rest of the cleaning, that just surprised me.
Tbh he might’ve off camera lol
That dirty is me moving my truck from the barn to the blacktop. I do appreciate your attention to detail though.
Found someone just like me only my vehicles are a Sprinter van and Subaru STi. Lots of advantages in getting underneath and cleaning, can see early evidence of leaks, wires/hoses rubbing or not supported properly, and obviously keeping clean is best for corrosion prevention. There is a lot of engineering under our vehicles and most of it is well done. It’s very satisfying to keep it clean if you have time.
This is honestly the best tutorial to clean your undercarriage,
You have to care for your vehicle to do this, I already do that to our truck,not to mention that is the cleaning 3rd gen Dodge I've seen! Love the channel man!
Glad it helped and thank you!
You should do a video on painting the undercarriage - would be awesome to get my truck looking like yours.
Dude, I thought I was the only one. My vehicles last me 10+ years with 0 rust. Currently have a 2020 F250 and it’s better than mint. I actually take it a step further, I coat with fluid film and let it sit for a couple months.. the fluid film creeps into the cracks and crevices… then I clean and wipe all the fluid film off all the main surfaces and coat with WD-40!
For plastics and tires 303 only!!!
I’m super truck and boat OCD lol
Truck always stays in climate controlled garage with dehumidifier and stays dry as much as possible.
Great video! Prob the best I’ve seen in something like this.
P.s. use latex gloves to keep your hands dry then put mechanics gloves on over so u don’t get all cut up. I also wear a full goretex rain suit.
This is awesome I need to spend some time and clean the underside of my vehicle and take care of the rust its a 05 but I'm the 3rd owner
I was looking for a truck for years. Ended up looking at fords because they’re cheap, after watching your videos i decided to suck it up and get my dream truck, drove off the lot with an 07 2500 dirty diesel. 🤘
that rear diff cover will destroy your diff. go look banks power video on what is actualy going on inside your diff when is running.
Your high if you really think this
@@mrpolarisindy500 cavitation will eat the ring and pinion
The best undercoating is CRC marine, heavy duty corrosion inhibitor
Recently bought an 84 bronco to restore. Previous owner was a fan of mud riding plus there’s an oil leak. So this weekend, this is my goal
U do NOT have OCD. I totally agree with u! My used camry rusted everywhere u cleaned. Truck/car no difference. Nice to see how mitculous u are! Thanks!.
Putting in the time and money to make sure your truck looks good and performs good is the difference and it shows. Your trucks definitely are well taken cared of good video bro 🤙🏽
You are not crazy I have a 2022 ram 1500 limited I got last September, I lived in Ontario Canada where they salt the road here every winter what I did I when I bought the truck I painted over the factory paint on the frame and, then clear coat over it then got it rust proof from krown, I'm definitely doing a deep clean under my truck then rerustproof it when the weather gets better I don't give a crap what people think about me I love my truck and want it to last a very long time can't be driving a nice truck with a rusted out frame
It is so refreshing a young person have such pride and self respect to go the extra mile on their daily ride! Good for you! Keep the bar high and continue being an example. 👻
Thank you! It’s still cool to take care of stuff!
@@JustDiesels and therapeutic
Wait til he has some kids! Either his children will be neglected not knowing who’s their daddy? Or he’ll be driving a dirty French fry laden mini van! Lol jk
If your crazy brother you stepped into a funny house, cause that was a awesome video!! Its refreshing to see and know there is someone out there who takes care of his truck like his own child. Excellent video brother!!
How would we do something like this during winter in Michigan when salt is always on the truck and wash the truck 4 times a week lol
Around October, wash under there the best you can. Then go get it undercoated with Fluid Film, and don't wash it again till May.
I’m the same way with all my vehicles and bike (OCD), but it’s been 2 years since I did my Durango last. It’s that time again. I always used to clean it to the point it looked like new again purple power/paint where need be/dressing, which IS a phenomenal feeling given that it’s an ‘03!
Thanks for the tips, I didn’t even think about finishing with WD-40...!
I actually rebuilt the heads on my ‘11 Ram Hemi and cleaned them with WD-40, wire and nylon brushes, and even wet sanded with the stuff. It’s very multi purpose substance for sure!
I have a 99 dodge 3500 with zero rust. I cake the underside in fluid film.
I had the same comment, fluid film accomplishes the same thing...if protection was the goal. Unless your in a car show....
@@firebir11 @c l Would you recommend with an undercarriage thats seen snow? I think I might have some surface rust starting to appear on suspension parts.
Another way to help prevent rust especially if you live in the Rust belt! Is clean the underside then treat it with fluid film. The stuff is amazing! I have a 2012 Ram 2500 and a 2001 GMC Yukon XL both have dealt with Pennsylvania and New York salt and that nasty liquid they spray in the bridges that eventually eats away at the steel beams holding the bridges up! That's why some have collapsed. This wt 😔 will eat your vehicle Alive no matter how clean 😔 you keep it . If you use Fluid film just make sure to keep up the maintenance treatments you don't need a lot once it twice a year, if you don't it slowly wears away and exposes the metal. When I take my vehicles into inspection they are always scratching their heads Wondering why an SUV with 335000 miles on it isn't in the scrap yard? Neither vehicle has any rust. I'm in Sturgis right now a local guy asked how I keep my RAM so nice looking his jaw hit the ground when I said its a 2012 😀👍 I'm just as OCD maybe more than you. I want my stuff to last as long as possible especially the Ram since I retired and I'm permanently towing my 5th wheel "Home" around the country.
I love watching crazy people do this kind of stuff...awesome.
That truck will live for ever because of you good job
Great job bro. Would pay you top dollar any day for that service
Hey Andrew. Thanks for this video. Question: Are there any parts of the undercarriage that should not be cleaned- that we should not touch? e.g. I'm thinking the brake disks (sorry, not a car expert). Sometimes I worry that the washing might harm something.
hey brother great job , i do this at least once a month , best thing you can do ...NOT INSANE !!!! i transport for a living and my truck gets bad. great video to show others how it properly done lmao it takes me almost 7 hrs wash , clay , wax , ceramic... awsome trick with the wd40 aswell will order a 12pack and do that when i get back home.
on rocker panels, there are drain holes. once a year rinse thoroughly by shooting a stream directly up into those openings. can also access from the runner board mounting slots sometimes. if there are no runner board supports attached to the rockers
SERIOUSLY!!!! I loved this video! Honestly it's the 1st video I've watched from this young man's channel but his OCD, and care, and pride in his vehicle is the reason I subscribed ,which I did. I've never met or seen anybody as OCD as I am until right now! My little sister actually calls me RAINMAN (Ducks are over here Ray, I'm an excellent driver, slow in the driveway 🤣) and she has since she's been able to talk! I'm sure only people of a certain age will get that reference or understand it but that's alright. It's good to finally see someone as insane as I am! LOL! 🤣 Keep up the great work!
I love these trucks and worked hard to get them! It’s always nice to take pride in caring for them! Glad I’m not the only OCD nut job 😂
Love the detail. Love the plethora of forks in the back ground too! 🚵🏼
Maybe I should get a truck first 🤔 but it is good to learn how to clean/detail and maintain it! Fantastic work 👏
Like others have said. Living in California you can get your truck like this. In the north east it is a lot different.
All fine and dandy when you live somewhere that you don't have 9 month winters! Here in Saskatchewan, we want to enjoy our "summer" when we do get it! I've seen snow in every month except July here! Just don't have the time to get this involved in cleaning my truck! Not that I wouldn't, just that our summers here are soooo short, and winters take forever, not to mention the four to six weeks of -30 to -40 C in January and February! Great video though, thanks for the info!!
Maybe you should all be driving snowmobiles instead of cars for those 9 months.
I had to come back to say this. I watched this video n u mentioned steel it for frame paint I did some research n bought some....today i used it n wow it looks amazing
It’s pretty cool stuff huh? In my experience is pretty durable too.
Oh jeeziss. This reminds me of when I was a Marine. On the way home from a six month Med float, we had to do "washdown" in Rota, Spain. Everything comes off every ship, gets washed to a HORRIFIC degree, inspected, and loaded back onto the ships. Livers are usually thoroughly "washed" with different types of alcohol-based substances.
An older gentleman who taught me how to work on cars told me if you want to stop or prevent rust, get a spray bottle of Automatic Transmission Fluid. It will last about 2 years per application. Just spray whatever metal you want to prevent rust on, let it sit for about 2 hours, then wipe it off. Works wonders
I'll try that on a couple of 100 plus year old unblued shotgun barrels. If I don't keep a close enough eye on them I use vinegar to draw the rust out.
My undercarriage gets that dirty on my vehicle in one snowstorm in Colorado.......🤣😂
well with this covid19 going on theres alot of time for people to do things like this - video date is dec 23 2020 - mite as well do it and do a video too - i am going to do it my self - great video - he loves his ride
Thanks for taking my ocd to a whole nother level😎
I think that you are now my spirit animal... wow! Looks amazing. Great job!
lol your definition of dirty is different than mine. The other day I noticed I had baseball sized chunks of mud caked onto my axles and a solid 2" thick layer mud caked in between my rock sliders and frame.
That is easily with no doubt 1000 times more work. But if you have a beautiful truck that has been well taken care of and then you do all of those modifications and you swap out your axles for whatever reason. I believe then it’s the time to go that crazy every 4 to 6 months. Well done. Continue doing what you’re doing. One recommendation I have for you, is to change your diff covers to banks power. other than that! you have a beautiful truck.
Every 4 months? Wow. I want to do something like this with my summer only ride just to keep it as nice as possible
That is the cleanest dirty truck I’ve ever seen
Just give it a fluid film bath once a yr youll never have rust not even rusty bolts living in the salt belt. Or pay a shop a full size truck is usually $115 where i live at least. I had a 10yr old truck in ny where they salt everyday pretty much with zero rust cause of fluid filming once a yr
I think its fairly easy to keep the frame rust free as long as you keep up on it but the rear end is hard to keep rust free. My dads 2020 ram already has the black coating peeling off the diff and its starting to corrode and i wash it once a week, even in the winter. We never drive it in the salt either. Everything else underneath the truck looks good though.
Fluid film
You are right - not everyone can go to this extent. I can not imagine APC dripping down my arms and all over me ever.
Did I see a Palm Tree in the reflection of the truck? Driving in the Desert, Sand, Dirt and Dust? Come to Indiana where in the Winter time every road has Salt, Sand and Brine application on them, tell me how to clean this crap off. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this video and learned the I am not the only person who wants to protect my truck, plus some good locations where Dirt and Debris off the Windshield will drain from. Keep these Videos coming....
in canada those tires with offset rims will throw rocks and chip all the paint up the side of the truck. The salt on the roads will rust it bad. I see it all the time.
My 26 year old chevy has very light rust, i need to do this. Thanks bra
What a Great job Andrew ! I’m not as crazy I thought...😅 I do this only 2 times ! The day I bought my truck and the day I sell it again...
You’re more than welcome to clean my truck if you ever come over to France...😜
You drive a first gen in France? Hats off to you!
@@Ganglydude thanks man 🤘🏻
great job. too OCD for me. but great work either way. Here's another tip from the moto world. Lemon Pledge on the plastic fender liners works wonders against mud. Hell, it even works on the underside. All with a lemon fresh scent!
Very nice I m the Exact same way with my truck
I wanna buy one of your used trucks , you take good care of your stuff
You know I've honestly NEVER thought of using wd40 to use as a protectant for the frame on my truck. I think I might do that.
Fluid film
great job..... wire brush spray paint too!! . Ive been the same way for years...
Me being from Michigan your truck was clean to begin with.
I live in East TN I was thinking the same thing. Lmao
@@fatl_fr34k45 I buy my used trucks from Tennessee because they are clean. Most trucks up here from all brand's make it 3 year's till they have rust underbody. 6 years and they have body rust showing. 10 years wheel arches rockers and cab corners are rotten, 15 year's and the frames start giving out from rust. I'm actually looking for a truck now, been on FB marketplace looking in Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina.
I thought you were showing the after cleaning underbody. It looks already clean.
Love to hear if you do anything for the dash to prevent cracking. Thanks and keep up the good work!
What about taking down the spare tire and cleaning it all up?
Do you paint the underside of your bed with anything? The steel it grey maybe?
We forget all that hard work, we just spray them with oil/ rust spray.. if ya don’t 3 months into winter you have rust.. no rust spray in 8 years it’s rotten.. we got massive rust worms here in northern Ontario Canada..
Rather than WD40 you should try GIBBS its a penetrating oil that everyone uses that race Bonneville to prevent rust
That things frame is cleaner than the best part of my truck even before the clean.
Good Stuff, Great Help, Good Tips 👍Thanks!
Completely insane. But I love it!
Great job brother.
Respect that is amazing effort and care
Sweet video
Like to add Honda Bright is the BEST Undercarriage, tires , wheels , door jams, engine bay cleaner
Give it. Try . Honda bright sold at Honda bikes / small engine shops
Do you know what’s in it? Is it a silicone based product like SC1?
What paint did you use to get your frame and other steering components so glossy in the first place. Anything like
POR 15 or Rustoleom?
It’s ok to be crazy it’s a good way of life lol I do this aswell
I saw a video on those flat faces differential covers, and I guess they don’t function too well
Can't find any dirt on that truck, but nice video. Best regards from germany, i really like your Videos.
God danngggg boy!!! You clean the SHIT out this truck!! SUPER impressive and very helpful. Going to do this to my 2005 tundra that I want to look like new. Cheers mate
Honestly I thought I had somebody that had ADD , just as bad as me . I can't believe you haven't already bought a undercarriage sprayer put to a power sprayer. Depending on the undercarriage sprayer you can save you a lot of time. Especially if you don't live in the rust belt. As far as spraying WD-40 on the under carriage . You're better off buying a gallon WD-40 and buying a cheap harbor freight pump sprayer. I have a 2004 f350 Harley Davidson crew cab with four captains chairs. This truck spent 14 years out west. When I bought it it came with $12k in receipts in motor work 20k mi ago. It's never had a tune still had the stock intake and exhaust. The only thing I've done so far is put a 2-inch leveling kit on the front an 1-in blocks in the back . Plus a 4-in stainless steel turbo back to a muffler splits in the duals. So I could run 35 on the stock rims , but probably could get away without the lift but I got mud flaps and I know they would rub . It has a 136k mi the motor work was done 16k mi ago . I have $20k in the truck with the mods I've added
What tierod/drag link setup is that?
Your saying don't drive your rig for a week after you spray ?
How did you mount your fender liners?
That’s impressive.
did you get a rubberized coating as well?
My truck looks 100x worse in 2 days of driving in Minnesota. Try to keep your truck from rusting for one winter where I live, I dare you. I wash my car 2x a week and perform a full clean, grind, paint routine every spring and my truck is still suffering.
In Australia we use Lanotec to clean seal and protect our 4x4’s. After going through salt water and mud when we get back home putting your truck over a sprinkler will clean most areas. Putting a hose through your chassis rails will keep them clear to permit them to drain. Removing stone guards is a must.
I bought mine used, pity I didn't think of looking underneath, missing crossmembers
First your level of detail is amazing! I feel the same way but you also live in California. Nothing rusts there. I live in Michigan, my underbody gets good anti corrosive and flushes all the time. I wish I could do what you do, but it would never be practical with our winters and no use trying to get off the anti corrosion inhibitors just for the summer. Great Job!
How long did this take you? Obviously filming adds some time and not everyone will go through all the steps but curious to how long it took.
Without filming, doing this typically takes me about 6 hours or so? It all kinda depends how crazy you get with it!
i pressure wash it and it has been fantastic! no rust!
Awesome video. It helps starting with a really clean truck. How long did this take?
Just wondering How much would a detail undercarriage cleaning like this would cost?
Just diy it! It only takes a few hours and zero special tools.
Hey nice work. Do you clean or flush out the inside of the rockers and cab corners ?
They rust out from inside out.
Then you can spray a rust proofing product like Blaster Surface Shield inside coating walls and pinch welds.
I live in so cal so there’s really no reason in my area!
What do you use to protect internal frame also undercoating?
What do you use for the shocks to keep them rust free
Ok now I have to do my truck 😂
Really glad I’m not the only person that does all this😅😅
Not at all!
this is next level OCD , off the charts, , easy job in California , you would be fighting a loosing battle anywhere up north , rust will always win in the end
Damn how does your undercarriage look so damn fresh. Even with dirt on ot it looks like you just bought it. The paint on the frame hasn't deteriorated at all. I guess you said how but I still don't believe it lol
This process is why! Do this and your truck will look fantastic for years.
what color black steel it spray paint do you use that matches the trucks frame???
Black is a great match!
Unbelievable great job!!!
Hi, I am Ed, this was awesome, i would totally be your friend ! wow !!!!! amazing ! i wish I was like even your neighbor you could help me do my RRS 2011 ! this video has just made me a new subscriber.
