JFC, I’m so tired of all of this complaining about rust on the UNDERCARRIAGE, do whatever y’all want. Rhino line the whole damn underside. Brush it off and watch it come back again, spray paint it, I don’t really care. I was trying to be helpful but good lord y’all are worried about nonsense

He is absolutely correct.

I get it - you just dropped $60k or more on a new truck and this is ugly. It’s also normal, and not a negative indicator in terms of worksmanship, parts quality, reliability, or lifespan.

You’ll feel better when the remainder of the axle assembly has the same fine surface rust.

You can spray it with something like fluid film to help stop it. Keep in mind most of these parts are very thick iron parts and the rust is cosmetic.
