Default How much does dodge really care?? can we get a count??

I have an 05 1500 and the rust on wheel wells on the back drives me crazy no matter what I did to try to prevent it I still got it almost every 3rd gen I see around here has it and chrysler wont do anything about it and I know a bunch of guys on here have it too. How many guys have cancer on the wheel wellson the bed of the truck??

What's rust? Does your truck catch it by sleeping around with other trucks?


(We dont rust here in San Diego)

Not here, and only forty miles or so from the Gulf. Our roads don't get salted, though.

Buy over 5k trucks at a time and they will care.

So much so they ship you a new truck to correct the problem. But not everyone has such buying power..

No salt here and my 99 is rusting.

To answer your question. No.
Dodge don't give a Fxxx about us.
None of them do.

Build sell build more hope you wreck the new one buy again you sheep.

I think I have only seen 1 3rd gen here in Kentucky with any rust. We get some salting here. Actually covered in ice as I type. Very few 2nd gen with rust here either.
