Tie Rod End Leaking?
Crawled under the truck just to look things over and saw quite a bit of grease on the passenger side tie rod end. I'm certainly not a suspension expert, but I'm pretty sure this boot is toast? Just want to be certain before I call in the warranty work.

I would also be looking at that u-joint in the first picture. Looks like an awful lot of grease built up on it, which means it probably isn't in the joint anymore....
Yeah I would say that all looks pretty rough for a 22k mile truck. Mine has 55k a year newer and lives inside but I work it pretty good. Looks a lot better than that, no leaky boots, no rust, no u-joint build up....

it is toast.
You need to power wash the underside when you get it repaired.
Then use fluid film or wool wax and spray that underside to help prevent all that corrision.

Agree with the sentiment about undercoating it but spray paint would probably do just as well if you are in Oklahoma mild weather.
