Consumer Description

THE LEFT REAR FRAME RAIL JUST IN FRONT OF THE LEFT REAR FRONT SPRING SHACKLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE HOLES THROUGH THE LOWER PORTION OF THE FRAME RAIL. THE SIDES OF THE SAME AREA HAVE BECOME VERY THIN COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL THICKNESS OF THE FRAME RAIL. BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE RUST THROUGH AT THE SPRING SHACKLE IT WAS RECOMMENDED A FRAME REPAIR SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETED. THE TRUCK WAS DISPOSED OF AND TAKEN OFF ROAD. THE REMAINDER OF THE VEHICLE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. MILEAGE 75,124 MILES. THE FRAME RAIL IS FORMED INTO A BOX FRAME WITH THE SEAM LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAIL. THE RUST APPEARS TO BE WORST ON THE SEAM. THE SEAM IS A LAP SEAM AND APPEARS TO TRAP WATER IN THE LAP SEAM. THE RIGHT SIDE FRAME RAIL IS THIN HOWEVER IS NOT RUSTED THROUGH AT THIS TIME.
