Passenger side frame rusted just behind the front wheel. This is a potential safety issue and will cause the truck to fail the state safety inspection rendering the truck useless. Unless it brakes before that time. Drivers side in better condition.

I kept hearing a squeak in the rear end. When I looked under the truck I found that the frame is rusting out real bad. Pieces are flaking off. Had to replace all four hangers on leaf springs and shackles due to them being rusted through and broke. Dealer said this is normal and I will also have problems with the brackets holding the front springs. My exhaust is the original and the truck has 147,000 miles on it. I would expect the exhaust to rust out before the frame but I guess I am wrong. I am starting to worry about the safety of me and my kids. I still have the pieces that were replaced. Truck was also originally equipped with an undercoating on the frame. I guess this did not help.
