Aluminum would corrode of the surface corrosion coating (don't remember the name of the stuff, but it wasn't annodizing, came in a can and turned the aluminum a slightly greenish yellow), steel and aluminum get ugly together without proper anti-seize (look at Ford 5.4I spark plug issues).

I have reasons I decisions.

Are you a used car salesperson?
