The OP posted something he observed in a repair shop where he works. Everybody jumps down his throat. What's up with that?
I believe it was the tone and assumption this was somehow a DP issue. The continued insistence this wasn't caused by road or sea salt didn't help either.
We too live in the rust belt. The brine they are using to treat the roads today causes far more corrosion than the old road salt we grew up with. The brine also doesn't leave any white residue, and clings darn near forever.
Last year I did a set of brake lines on a friend's car. In mid-August the lines were still slimy.
I would darn near promise you the issue described was caused by driving on a brine treated road. I see it all the time.
Too many assumptions in the OPs story.
I guess I didn't see any assumptions. Just observations. As to it being a DP I assume it was a DP so the OP said it was a DP. Are all DP owners so sensitive?
