Rebuilding my 2019 Sierra Denali after a failed landing part 3

[@itsjustme1949]

Here's my take on the cavity wax, it took a whole 3 seconds, at most, and cost a buck, at most. Why the hell not! I like the idea of doing everything possible to stop the rust on my vehicle. Just makes me feel good to know it's protected. Keep at it!

The truck looks great Scott! I never used anything inside the doors until i watched your videos. I could not find the cavity wax so i used fluid film inside the doors trunk lid, hood, everywhere i could think of. I live in Connecticut where they pour salt brine on the roads ,it loves the eat steel. I had my new used truck frame blasted then hot galvanized they did not quench it so paint would stick to it, 3 coats of catalyzed black paint in a attempt to keep the rust at bay. I cavity waxed the whole inside of the frame after painting.

[@Potatofarmer1898]

Actually thanks to you, I actually went out of my way and cavity waxed the crap out of all the doors in my Jeep when I had them repainted cause New Jersey rust. So far, it hasn’t been back… So… Thanks for not giving a crap about what anyone else says and helping me keep my truck looking decent. Spotty needs a raise though.

Taking your tips about cavity wax. Plus the info about fluid film. I have used those products around my Florida Island home where the salt air corrodes everything. Simple things like an outside electrical outlet that has a weather cover(which does little good) corrodes up to useless in about 5 years. So now after replacing them I cover them in FluidFilm. For two electrical breaker boxes on the outside of the house that I replaced because the old ones were pretty much just a hunk of rust. Cavity wax all inside. FluidFilm on the outside. For my outside AC unit I treated it too. Hopefully the outside AC unit will not have to be replaced in just a mere 4 years this time.

Hopefully one day my cavity waxed doors with be parked at my Florida island home. I’m a little jealous! 👍🏻

Until today, I never knew those were called heat shrink terminals, nor that they were to be heated to seal. I just thought the plastic was to insulate the splice. That wisdom alone was worth watching your channel. Thanks for educating me today!!!

There a couple different kinds. The ones he used were the heatshrink kind. But they also make cheaper non "weather-proof" connectors that look similar, I wouldn't try to heatshrink the non weather-proof ones. It might get stinky

[@BrucePierson]

It's definitely worth treating a vehicle for rust whenever the opportunity arises. I have a 1982 Mitsubishi L300 van that was treated for rust when it was young and other than rocker panels that I had to repair when I was putting it back on the road, it has insignificant rust. Needless to say that I treated it again before it went back on the road. My 1981 L300 that I had before this one had really bad rust and I had to take it off the road. So this 1982 L300 is one of very few left on the road today. All the best from Queensland Australia.

For those heat shrink butt connectors i many times on the smaller wires use the next smaller size. I have seen them come in both yellow or white. They are white on Amazon. They come in several kits or by themselves. They are listed as 22-24 ga wire but work to nearly 18 ga wire. I like them because they are just over an inch long, have the glue lining and smaller diameter than the pink 18-20 ga ones. I saw them in 100, 150, or 500 count packages.
