Consumer Description

THERE IS EXTREME RUST OUT ON MY DODGE RAM ABOVE THE REAR WHEEL WELL. THIS IS ON THE BOX OF THE TRUCK. THE DODGE TRUCKS ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THERE IS FOAM MATERIAL BEHIND THE BODY. ONCE THIS MATERIAL GETS DAMP OR WET, IT STARTS RUSTING THE VEHICLES FROM THE INSIDE OUT. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 82,000 MILES AND IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THRU THE OUTER METAL. THIS IS WEAKENING THE INTEGRITY OF THE BODY. I DID TALK TO A BODY SHOP AND THEY HAVE TO CUT THE BODY, REMOVE THE FOAM AND RUST AND WELD A NEW PATCH PANEL IN PLACE. *TR
