Rusting Frame

[Badass69]

You really want the dealership to yank the cab and the box off plus dismantle everything to do this... I wouldn't. Unless they take your chassis and actually sandblast it or at minimum wire wheel the whole thing it's going to just do it again anyway lol. Hell if you are going that far pony up some money and have the frame stripped bare and powder coated. Seems like a waste of time and effort to have the same shitty tar blasted on it so it can just peel off again in a few years or less.

Not at all - I would prefer to get out of the truck altogether at this point but as of now this is all they are willing to do.

 

I am going to inspect the truck once it is "prepped" and if that point I don't like what I see they are going to have 2 options:

 

1) lots of unwanted media attention

 

2) new truck

 

I pride myself in taking care of my vehicles but it is hard to maintain something that is already too far gone... This is why I buy new so I make sure I have something that will last as I am willing to put the effort in on preventative maintenance...

I guess I am weird... I just clean mine up and repair it myself... I do a better job than they would ever be bothered with and no I am not taking the truck apart to do it lol. Different strokes I guess. Then again I refuse to let GM dealers touch the truck and have voided my warranty so it's not a concern of mine either lol.

Touching the frame up will not void any warranty except maybe the frame but if you keep it up it will never be an issue.

 

I do the same thing

Lol. Not remotely what I meant

.. my powertrain is not stock and I don't let dealer ass clowns near the truck. Pretty sure the cam, afm delete, blower and long tubes should finish off the warranty lol.

You're probably still better off anyhow. Lol!

What's the solution?

 

Chev won't do spray on rust protection to my '16, and I know the rust module will not help the frame at all. Kind of disappointed in their approach for tackling rust especially in a land of sea salt, snow, sand, and road salt....

I just returned from the dealer with PIO0564 version H in hand which covers 2016 vehicles for the same problem so they are obliged to fix it.

 

You can download TSB below.

Right now they have my cab and box removed and are using solvent to remove the wax and undercoating. Then following the steps listed in the TSB.

 

I did not want to have my truck disassembled but I figure if I follow their recommendation that my warranty will stay intact and any future issues will be corrected as required.

Round 2 of frame treatment complete. In several spots you can see rust around the edges. That will clearly work its way under the coating, again. It also looks so rough in spots, it's obvious they just sprayed over everything without stripping it. So there will very likely be a round 3 of this shit. Woohoo!

Not laughing at your matter...but this is almost comical.

The process really is a joke. Here's a recap:

 

2015 with 3000 miles - http://m.imgur.com/a/ctmp2

Warranty work round 1 - http://m.imgur.com/a/w5MEm

6 month later - http://m.imgur.com/a/nIPEJ

Round 2 - http://m.imgur.com/a/IpoEI

 

Hmmm wonder if I will ever buy a GM vehicle again..

Also, who wants to bet that there will be a round 3 and 4.. And 5.

I cant see them touching it again... they will just say deal with it (unfortunately)

 

GM repainted my bumpers only pending a 3m clear bra installation ($500 of my own money) and said they wouldn't warranty it any more going forward unless I went with that option.

So I went over a month and a half ago and the dealership keeps on telling me they are waiting for parts from gm. That they are missing 1 item from them. Has anyone else had this delay? I am starting to get annoyed.

I called them again today and they told me they got the final part on Friday. So I'm ready for them to do their work. I hope it comes out alright. Thanks.
