Rust? - not in Tucson.- The Ford Chevy saga continues. Just speaking for myself, I've seen corrosion from salt on aluminum, and it's fast and very ugly. They NEVER-EVER use salt on runways. There's a reason for that. Anybody seen what heat treat (if any) Ford is using for their various aluminum components?

Yep, and when the truck reaches the end of the line, it can be recycled into beer cans again. It's a win-win. :)- I'm not much in the habit of defending Ford around here, given that we have the Dearborn Irregulars for that...
