Description of the problem | Vehicle was parked in the driveway. Upon washing the cab with a lower pressure garden hose a large hole formed in the back corner of the cab. Upon closer inspection it appears to be rusted from the inside out. I check the other side of the cab and see that the paint is badly bubbled up indicating rust under the paint on that side as well. The clear coat was still intact in both places. I would've expected to cab to outlast the windshield wipers, but that's not the case. This truck looks show room floor new and has never even been to the salt belt. |
