Rust Inhibitor In the last number of years
Rust Inhibitor
• In the last number of years roads are being sprayed with magnesium chloride. • Works well de-icing highways, however, it is very corrosive on truck components. • Electrical components and connections are extremely vulnerable.
Krown • Magnesium chloride is a liquid and quickly travels into all the wiring jct’s, after a short time the corrosion process begins • Can be extremely difficult to trouble shoot electrical break downs. (ECM’s, ABS sensors, regeneration sensors, auto transmissions etc, etc. ) • Trucks never breakdown near a shop. • Trucks end up being towed to a local shop for diagnosis.
How do we eliminate electrical breakdowns on our Fleet ?
• 3 years ago we began spraying the underside of all New trucks with Krown. • In the last 18 months we have started to re-apply as many trucks as possible on a annual basis. • We spray Electrical connections, Battery Terminals, Fuse Box, Starter, Air tanks and straps, Fuel tank straps, Frame, Cab underside, Hinges, Latches, Anything metal, electrical or air on the underside of the truck.
