There was some "rub on" stuff that would initially look pretty good but did not last. I also had a friend use a torch and got carried away and melted some panels. I think a complete clean and painting may be the only long time fix. I recently almost bought a K2500 8.1 Avalanche but it went for too much on B.A.T. The owner lived about 75 miles away in Florence, Or. and I drove over to see it before bidding on it. Was a very well taken care of vehicle BUT, if that crank sensor ever needed replacement, on that 8.1, it can be a nightmare if it will not coming out without breaking. The sensor is about 12" long. They can break in half. Then you have to go in thru the bottom inside the oil pan. Big big big job.</blockquote>
