Frame rail rust holes, brackets wielded to frame supports for leaf springs wields rusted completely through frame making vehicle unsafe due to the potential leaf springs supports to frame of vehicle breaking away from frame dropping rear of vehicle onto rear axles and tires. Frame of vehicle has a lot of rusting and holes due to the excessive rusting.
Nearly total frame failure due to poor steel and extreme rust and corrosion of entire frame. With this model year of GMC and Chevrolet trucks, there are a lot of reports of frame failures. My particular truck is so badly rusted that the cab and body could possibly separate due to frame failure. This vehicle has not been driven much during the winters and has been garaged most of its life. These frames shouldn't be this bad on a 15 year old vehicle.
The whole leaf spring shackle went thru the frame of the truck. After looking at how to replace this noticed pretty much the whole thing is rusted out and will need to be replaced to make it safe to be on the road again. This should be a recall on the truck for safety reasons.
Owned the vehicle from new, frame started rusting at every weldment from day one. Tried to treat the frame yearly with door grease to stop corrosion. No success, now frame is rotted and in danger of collapse.
Body frame has rot holes throughout undercarriage. New frame needed. While driving, I went over a speed bump and heard a loud boom from underneath the truck. Upon investigating, it was determined that the driveshaft broke off n was lying on the axel. Aaa was called and immediately towed the truch 1 mile to our mechanic. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that a new driveshaft was needed and upon further inspection, the mechanic spotted numerous pitting rusted holes throughout the frame. Determined that said truck was a total loss.
The brake lines and the entire frame is rusted out. There are big wholes in the frame. The garage wouldn't even put it on the lift, because it was so bad. Have replaced breaks and still the truck has break issues.
