One suggestion for preventing rust on your Ram 1500's fenders is to consider getting the dealer's rust-proofing option when you purchase your vehicle. While opinions vary on its effectiveness and some believe the truck already has rust protection, if you have some extra cash, you can choose this option. If you prefer a more budget-friendly approach, you can easily do it yourself. A common DIY method is using WD-40, a product you probably already have on hand. Another surprisingly effective option is linseed oil, which is organic and costs around $6 per 8.75 oz can. In addition to applying these substances, it's also advised to avoid salted roads and regularly wash your Ram to prevent rust.

    Make sure to clean and thoroughly dry the items, and don't forget to add a winter guard coating to prevent moisture buildup. Storing the truck in a garage will provide additional protection as well.
