It won't let me post pic's in messenger,but here's some pics of my 300 that i bought used with 20,000 on it,and it now has 72,000 on it.As we were talking about the aluminium corrosion that happens to the hemi's,the mix i told you about seems to remove it,and keep it at bay.
The car already had corrosion starting,when i bought it,and now it has none

My apologies.

I guess the mix is a secret....... :rolleyes:
You also have to open the hood at your local coin-op carwash and wash the hell out of the engine,then you liberally spray the secret sauce over everything,lol. If you don't pre-wash the engine,it's probably not going to work as good.
I wasn't really going to post the mix or how to use it,as everybody on here seems to scared to wash their engine bays in the carwash,and i wasn't going to argue the point,i only got out of the hospital a few days ago,so i'm not up to arguing much yet,lol.

LOL no apologies needed J. It's only what i've found that works good for keeping the aluminium corrosion at bay,somebody else might have a better mix,and maybe they'll post it also. I'm always experimenting with stuff to keep my engine bays clean and tidy,so i'll always listen to everybody else's experiments, :waytogo: :Big Laugh:

Well, dang Rick. I didn't know you were down and out. Now I'm really feeling bad for letting out your secret maintenance cleaning and detailing engine compartment tip, less the carwash power cleaning part, lol.

Getting a bit better Phil,one thing i learned is don't ignore your body for a couple months,it'll go into melt down mode eventually,lol.
Didn't know you were going through health issues but I'm glad to hear you're on the mend!

Thanks guys. Getting old sucks,lol
For sure. Definitely gotta listen to what your body is telling you!!! If something seems off and isn't getting better...no matter how small it may seem...get your butt to the Dr and keep pushing until they find the correct answer. That is how my pancreatic cancer was...for roughly 2 months it felt like I was just hungry. I would eat and the hunger pains would go away...sometimes, not all the time. That lasted that way for 2 months...then started to be all on my left side, under the ribs, under the heart and into my left side back. That is when I knew something was definitely wrong. After several trips, and a CT scan later...pancreatic cancer spread to my liver. I know with pancreatic cancer it was probably too late even if I went in sooner, but I should have gone in sooner. It may have at least given me more time than I'm going to get with my loved ones. 2 days ago marks the 1 year anniversary of officially having pancreatic cancer, and I know my time is about up. Not sure if that means a week, or a couple months, but it is coming to an end. I'm only 45...healthy, other than this. Rarely drank alcohol, never smoked, stayed active and ate fairly healthy and this crap still happened. It sucks that I'm soon going to be leaving my amazing wife and my 17 year old mini me son, and my 11 year old daughter!! Bottom line, if you guys listen to only 1 thing I ever type outlasted to this...PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR BODY IS TELLING YOU!!!! You know your body better than any Dr, and if something seems off, keep fighting and pushing against your Dr to get a solution!!!

Oh, man oh, man oh, man oh man ... I'm most definitely praying and hoping for the best for you ... my problems are most definitely trivial compared to this and makes me feel very fortunate.

I've got aches and pains at sixty three years old, but to hear this makes me feel ... well, Idk.

... just, dang.
