That should be a warrantable item...

I would give you rep points, but I don't want you overtaking me

I have seen rust on all makes ..But the Chevy's have far have the worst and deeper rust on them..here at least where I live..
I would hate to spend least 30 grand and have the truck rust out 3 years down the road...
I do speak from ether experience or what I see from other owners that have those trucks..
When I had a business that I needed trucks I have had put them through hell and back. I think after owning them over 25 years I have a darn good clue about trucks..Would you agree Fred?

I think that Ford vehicles are perfect and they should not change a thing. This is obviously the attitude that has landed Ford directly behind Toyota in domestic sales. Keep it up! Good job! You Ford guys got it right on the money! Well I think GM must be falling in the same trap. There losing out as well. Toyota this an Toyota that. Really Toyota had more recalls on there vehicles an problems then you can shake a stick at. Its amazing how people equate Toyota with perfection whenn they have had more serious problems with there vehicles as off late then the competition. Ford has cut llots off sales to fleet an rentals which are not profitable. Trucks are not selling as well as they used to due to the economy

Mine was and still is ( knock on wood ) still to the point where the paint to coming off because of "surface rust".
For the record, I have researched this and it was/is happening to other F150's and Expeditions in the 2000 model year.
Also I have a habit of keeping my vehicles very clean. Hell, I bought a 91 LX 5.0L Mustang new and sold it in 02 and it never had a spec of rust on it.

Just another food for thought. On the new GMHDS that exhaust pipe sticking out in the back off the truck looks like it will fall off with snow an ice building up on there or it will rust out an then break off. So DMAX any problems with your exhaust pipe back there. I think GM could do better. Ha,ha look at the 08 superduties.

I tell you what I will next week when I have a moment take some photos of my friends rusted out 2003 Chevy...
What a waste of money on that Truck and he is going to buy a Ford in the Spring after owning GM's all his life.

Fords exhaust to handle regeneration was way better.
Edit:
If you look at my avatar I think you can see it as I did not have the Cool Duels on at that time.
