Consumer Description
THERE IS EXCESSIVE RUST/CORROSION ON THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK. THE SKID PLATES COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF THE TRUCK IN 2010. THE TRANSMISSION LINES HAVE CORRODED TO THE POINT THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE OIL COOLER AND RADIATOR SUPPORTS HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. THE EXHAUST RUSTED OFF THE TRUCK IN 2010 AS WELL. CURRENTLY THERE IS EXTENSIVE CORROSION ON THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK AND THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. THESE ISSUES APPEARED IN 2010 AND I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THEM EVER SINCE. MECHANICALLY THE TRUCK RUNS GREAT, NEVER A PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE'S FRAME IS DISINTEGRATING DUE TO CORROSION.
