I think it would help a lot if y’all had Goss or hired someone to demonstrate a DIY application of the things Goss talks about on this segment. Like getting someone to dig underneath that pick up, show where it’s brake lines are and spray the products. I do also have a question, how would one get rid of road salt from under the car after winter? I’ve heard someone people mention blasting it with a hose in the spring because the fresh tap water is far less damaging than the lingering salt water but I’m not so sure
Through out the winter I take my vehicles to the car wash and either go through one that blasts the bottom of the car off, or if I am doing it by hand take the hand held and make sure i get the bottom of the vehicle( rinse, soap, rinse) as I go around the vehicle. And of course during the first spring detail I really make sure to blast it off on the underside.
why don't companies use aluminum lines so they don't rust? They seem to be making literally everything else out of aluminum mainly suspension and body parts.
Some manufacturers do use things other than steel, but keep in mind that all sorts of things hit up underneath the car (rocks, road debris, etc.). Softer metals like aluminum or copper could be more easily damaged by such things while steel can take more of a beating.
I never use the parking brake on an automatic unless it’s on an incline, and to follow up on your video about the parking brake, I was at work parking a Uhaul and accidentally bumped into another truck and it rocked back and forth a good 6 inches in either direction, I came back to the truck I hit and shifted through PRND321 and it was fine and when I put it back in park no issues

Pat talked about running a sprinkler under the car. It was great. advice. Not a lot of honest car guys left.
Krown (with a K) Rustproofing works.
Rust is not good, gotcha!

Trade it in after 3-5 years.

Yes, also aluminum is often not rated for higher amounts of psi.
An alternative used by some companies is stainless steel.
