Mine to, covered most of my block and all of the shocks, along with every piece of plastic in sight. I sure was worried about that stuff corroding. The funny thing is, they didn't coat anything that would actually rust. What did you use to get it off?

Yup, looks like 06's that got undercoatin got a real mess underneath.

I had it on the block, tranny, exhaust, shocks, heatsheilds, sparetire, frame, etc.....

So after I pulled everything I preped the underside of the truck.

Lots of 3m pads, paint prep cleaner and taped the whole truck off.

Sprayed the whole underside of the truck low gloss black with high temp

paint. Took me days just to prep for paint.:argh: But she now has a proper

undercoating job that just touches the underside off the truck right to the

edge off the rails.

Aircaraft Remover will remove the undercoating but you have to BECAREFUL

WHERE YOU USE IT. DO NOT GET IT ON PAINT! IT WILL TAKE IT OFF.

But it worked great to pull the undercoating off the plastic wheel wells.

Just make sure to have water around to clean it off right away.

Also dont try and do it with them on the truck. Take um out then clean um.

Works good also on the heat sheilds.

It just seem like a better idea to finish the undercoating job the right way

instead of trying to remove it. Although it was a lot of work.

Here are some pics.

First ones off the before "MESS"

and after with new undercoat.

This is about as close to a frame up restoration as anyone here has done.

Nice, very nice...good forethought and it is going to be a wonderful truck in about 19 years

I love your approach to doing it right! Wish more were like you, it would be great for all us.

Thanks, but I must say I have got alot of my insparation from members on this site! :rock:
