Good. Too many people buy these trucks from where they survived and think they can run them where they got ruined and think they magically won't get ruined now. There is no way to run a truck in the salt and have it not be eaten up by salt. Even if I had a heated garage with wash bay, pulled it in every night, sprayed out/off/under, it would still deteriorate. And who is going to actually do that every day... when it's in the teens, 20s, 30s and as soon as you go a mile it's right back in those places that rust. You can't wash that salt laden road grime out that gathers in the lower voids. All these trucks have surface rust on the back side where there never was paint and it comes alive when it comes to humid climates
