Any exposed metal will have surface rust. Just look at your brake rotors
after the truck sits for the night. What I was suprised was, that the Dak's
have steel drive shafts. I thought most vehicles these days came with
aluminum drive shafts for less weight and interia. I guess with the V8 you
need the stronger drive shaft. I wouldnt worry about it, it will just be
covered with rust again in a few months.
