Line-X Underside Concerns

[E-Rod]

Took new pickup to local Line-X dealer to spray the bed and underside (they salt the road in winter and I live off a gravel road).
Biggest concern: They partially sprayed the drive shaft and the U joint. They are telling me its nothing to worry about. I have gotten up to 75mph with no issues.

Don't sweat it. Takes a lot more than that to throw off the shaft balance. Consider it extra protection.

Thats fine its not enough to throw it out of balance.... your actually doing more harm than good putting line-x under the box it will cause moisture to trap and rot it out your best is a yearly under spray like fluid film

paint the rest of the shaft black to match.

I wouldn't sweat it...but I wouldn't Line-X the underside of a vehicle either. Look towards a Krown Coating or Fluid Film type product.

Avoid krown unless you like changing rubber bushings and seals

I did a lot of digging on it before I went down that road. I see some older threads across some other forums, but nothing too recent. Was there a change in formula, or were perhaps only certain types of vehicles affected? I have seen tons of positive feedback on it.

Been doing fluid film on my vehicles every year for almost 15 yrs. Haven't replaced a bushing for that reason. Rust never sleeps and we need all the help we can get here in the salt belt. There are piles of salt at intersections. It's gross.

I have had the new formula and the old stuff the old stuff was bad but the new clear stuff is no better in less than 2 years of using it instead of fluid film i had change every single bushing and rubber now i use fluid film only
