NHTSA Complaint #10312624 — 2000 FORD RANGER

I HAVE A 2000 FORD RANGER XLT WITH EXCESSIVE RUST / ROT ON THE FRAME. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRAME ENDS WITH NEW STEEL AS THEY HAD ROTTED AWAY CAUSING THE REAR BUMPER TO FALL OFF THE TRUCK. I ALSO HAD TO BUY AND REPLACE NEW LEAF SPRING MOUNTS BECAUSE THE OLD ONES HAD ROTTED AWAY. I AM NOW WONDERING IF I CAN REPAIR OR REPLACE OTHER SEGMENTS OF THE FRAME BECAUSE THERE IS EXCESSIVE RUST AND ROT IN CERTAIN AREAS. THE MAJORITY OF THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE REAR HALF OF THE FRAME, BOTH SIDES. I DO NOT SEE ANY EXCESSIVE RUST IN THE FORWARD FRAME RAILS. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE SHOCK MOUNTS, SPARE TIRE CARRIER WHICH ROTTED OFF, AND THE CROSS MEMBERS WHICH ALSO ROTTED OFF. *TR
