HOrnbrod Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Plenty plenty of rust buckets in CO - they use salt and magnesium chloride on the roads there in winter too. Maybe just not as much as the rust belt states. I'd look over any vehicle real close if buying one from CO. Jim's just twisting the knife a bit. Can't say I blame him. :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Mag chloride ain't bad for rust but there's a long going debate on what it does to electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 That's amazing Jim....... Usually those rubber floor coverings trap the moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride172 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Magnesium chloride is corrosive to aluminum . You can drink a whole cup of it and not get sick. I see damn few rust buckets here in Co. Maybe if all the rust bucket states had better economies they could afford mag chloride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride172 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The lack of rust in Co is also due to the low humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 I will take the rust over your gun laws any day. Every politician that voted for those laws are now out of a job, as of last election. Just waiting for this years session to start. And in all fairness, this is what the other side of the floorboard looks like. I honestly feel that if the rubber floormat had not been there, there would be no rust what soever. Careful scraping and poking reveals it's all surface rust. No holes or rust thru. A couple minutes with the sand blaster, a coat of POR, be good as new.

Strokermjcomanche Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I think the exhaust had a part in the rust also as It probably created condensation in-between the rubber mat and floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ride172 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The gun laws are BS... I agree .... We also voted as a state to get rid of emission testing. Some state level politician must have lost some money because now a couple years later they brought it back without a vote by the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 What is that stuff, Jim? I live in Arizona and have never seen it before. You mean to say there's worse than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMCJeepMJ Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 x2 on the magnesium chloride corrosion; I have a set of Escape wheels and a set of LeSabre wheels that say that stuff is bad for aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFAGumby Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 My truck had that same rubber matting and lived most of its 164,000 mile life in Texas. Still had a size-able hole in the drivers side. You are so lucky!!!!! :laughin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
