| 2008 | POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE | VIBRATION DURING ACCELERATIONS. FEELS LIKE A DRIVE LINE OUT OF BALANCE. HAVE HAD IT TO WILSONVILLE OREGON DEALER TWICE, AND MENTION IT TO THEM EVERY TIME I GO IN. THEY TEST DRIVE EVERY TIME AND SAY THERE IS NO ISSUE. ALSO HAVE ONE TIRE THAT ALWAYS LEAKS DOWN, DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIX. *TR |
| 2002 | SUSPENSION:REAR | GAS TANK SHIELD SEVERELY RUSTED. UNDER SIDE OF GASTANK IS PROTECTED BY A SHIELD/SKID PLATE. IT IS RUSTED SO BADLY THAT WHEN HIT WITH A HAMMER THE HAMMER GOES RIGHT THROUGH. PRESUMABLY THIS SHIELD IS TO PROTECT THE GAS TANK FROM DEBRIS AND STONES ESPECIALLY IF THE TRUCK IS USED OFF ROAD. I DISCOVERED THIS AS I WAS INSPECTING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK BEFORE DROPPING THE TRUCK OFF AT THE DEALER TO HAVE THE FRAME REPLACED. IN ADDITION TO THIS, IT IS APPARENT THAT THE DRIVE AXLE AND DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING ALSO HAVE SEVERE RUST. IF TAPPED WITH A HAMMER THE RUST COMES OF IN SHEETS. THE PARKING BRAKES ACTUATING LEVERS HAVE RUSTED IN PLACE AND CAN NO LONGER BE USED. THERE APPEARS TO BE MORE TO THIS RUST THAN SIMPLE FRAME RUST. THE RUST IS PERVASIVE THROUGH OUT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. *TR |
