The problem areas in the pictures I dealt with early on using clear coat safe rubbing compound. After which I applied a good quality wax which I repeated every couple of months. Never showed up again. Looks as good as the day I got the truck (early 2005)If left ignored as I see in the thumbnail pictures it's going to need careful sanding out, spot priming, matching top coat and then clear coat.

 

yeah rust is forming under the hood, on the frame, anlong the doors and other place's on my truck. this is bs the trucks only a year old...im done with dodge. they suck!!! my son is right german engineering is so much better there is no car companie out there(except Nassian with the new GT-R)that can design cars at the level that they do.

 

haha but wait thats why their engineering is so much better, right?

I dont think hes very bright, if its rusting around the door or under the hood, I wouldguess he didnt know what a car wash was. Andwhat the hell is Nassian, I am guessing he meant Nissan.

 

for all that say rust on any car of truck that is this new is normal is crazy...and ur right germans dont make trucks right thats why there is a opel and a vw caddy ur right...and car wash dont do that to trucks or cars it the horrible design from dodge im soo happy to be getting ride of the this thing... the truck has anti corrosive treatment and is dipped in acid. rust should not appear in those places for at least 7 years

 

Mine had rust starting to form on the rear bumper, had it replaced under warranty. No rust anywhere else yet though, watching very closely.

 

I just started getting the same rust spots on that front support in front of the radiator. I actually applied a thick layer of auto silicon over the spots. Some may think this is ghetto, but its under the hood so you dont see it, and it definately stops the rust for good.

 

well it does depend on where exactly you live/drive the truck, but rust is normal, idc what anyone says...especially if you drive areas where corrosives such as salt, gravel, soil with high acidity levels, etc are present. I've had my truck for just under 2 years, and yes there is some minimal rust, but IMO it's a truck, I bought it to haul stuff, go hunting and offroad, thats what you buy a truck for, otherwise you should own a car. LIke my gramps used to say, if your truck is perfect you're not using it right! I wouldn't say that I like scratches, rust etc, but every one of the blemishes on my truck has a story or a lesson...

 

im getting a little discoloring in that weld area in the front, havent really looked at it hard, i dout its anything to worry about, the underbody is so clean u could eat off of it !
