Rams with rust

funny thing about aluminum... when bolted to stainless steel, & in the presence of clorine, the galvanic processes cause it to oxidize much faster than when there is not clorine present.

road salt will do a number on those ford pickups if there are stainless steel parts next to the aluminum

when two different metals come in contact, a small but measurable voltage is created.
