Default What went wrong with YOUR Ram today?

Was underneath the truck doing an oil change when I noticed the frame rust. Poked my finger right through like paper. Now I guess I'll just wait for the front end to fall off!
Anyone else have anything like this going on? Is this normal?

Holy crap man, that sucks big time--looks like swiss cheese. Are you going to patch it? Are there other areas like that?

LOL
Now I don't feel so bad
Damndest part is, I'm under there about 3X a year cleaning and touching up paint and stuff in addition to maintenance and never saw this coming. And they don't salt roads here in FL like up north. I just don't get it. And yeah, thinking of unloading it pronto.

Have you tried doing that TPS mod? I did it (my idle was just a little rough) and it seems like it really smoothed it out.

Did you take it out to Daytona?

I spent a week there way back in the day with my Montero. Afterwards rust just started to appear, it was a pain but I got it under control.
