I'm up outside of NYC where if there is a threat of ice drizzle, they drop $500,000 of rock salt. Post-COVID, I've been driving my 78 40 a lot more. I want to drive it where sensible this winter too. Historically, I've followed and old mechanics philosophy of, 2 good rainfalls after salting with of course no more salt after the second rainfall. Does anyone just use a hose philosophy? If the roads look clean from salt, drive it and take a hose to the lower frame and body. Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing your views on salt.
