i don't think black rtv would work too good for sealing a hole in a oil pan.

this is the seal all i am talking about. i have used it on my oil pan and my dads gas tank. so far no leaks.

That's true.A lot less salt. But where the truck spends most of it's time parked is probably more of an issue than any thing else I suppose.

We get snow every now and then.
They use some type of brine solution when we get ice (more common than snow here) and I've never seen a vehicle rusted out like that around here.
The weather does suck but it should warm up some time soon. It was 70º the other day and 2 days later it was 30º. NC has some wacky weather.
A couple years ago I was fishing on christmas day because it was 70º.

Just like central Oklahoma. 30º on Monday but could be 75º by Thursday and then plummet to 15º by Saturday evening. A few of years ago, I think it was in November, the temp got up to the upper-60's and inside of 3.5 hours dropped to 35º.

It's not unusual to have t-shirt weather in January here, either. Our wacky weather is due to the Gulf Stream occasionally pushing upward.

Heh, again, sounds like Oklahoma. The damned salt/sand trucks dump tons of that crap yet the plow stays elevated. Apparently, the driver's haven't been taught that the vehicle can both plow and drop sand/salt at the same time.
