It was around $140. It needs to be done annually. First vehicle I've ever had done. It is a tacky/oily coating that dust and dirt will stick to. It will soften some types of rubber, door seals and stuff like that. It isnt purposely applied to **** like that but needs to be wiped off if it drips or runs. Seemed to hold up ok but time will tell.

Oh that's not bad at all. Can you recommend a place in the Detroit area to have this done? Thanks so much!!
Any snow tire would be better than an summer all season tire. Blizzaks are going to be most money and same with michilens. I like the cooper snow tires and firestone snow tires for trucks, they seem to work just as good and likely less money.
It would be best to do all 4 tires so you have control at every corner.
Ok, thanks for the replies guys. Wondering how important it is to have snow tires just taking city streets to work and back. I figure they keep the roads pretty good up there since they are used to dealing with snow right? I have Michelin LTX M/S 2s on now but they don't have much life left. May see if they will get me through the first winter though.....
So what methods do you use, besides the Fluid Film that we have discussed, to keep the rust to a minimum on a brand new truck like you have? Do they have better rust protection from the factory than older trucks? About the only thing I have heard is to try to car wash the whole truck, especially the undercarriage so that snow and salt are not allowed to "sit" anywhere. Any other advice?

snow tires would be ideal but as long as you have some decent tread you'll be ok. I don't run snow tires. I plan my routes according and avoid hills.
