I've heard people comment that the coating only covers the issues, and doesn't really stop the rust over the longer term.
I'm sure others can be more specific about their experiences. But like I said. I've heard comments of people not recommendin it.

My son has these issues on his 08 and isn’t getting much help.... might be time to break out the bigger bark and bite!!

Is there a statue of limitation? Something like 12 years? Any truck after the 12 year mark doesnt qualify?

I don't think so. My truck is a 2006 and I am getting new frame in 2 months (end of March). To give you an idea of how long the wait is, my inspection was back in July 2018.

I had that done and everything that bolted to my frame was replaced except for exhaust. Ball joints, coil and leaf springs, everything. It was a new truck............ Then it was totaled, dammit!

Any chance they replaced your Drive Shaft? I'm pretty sure I need a new one. LOL.

Will need to read about this further bc this is starting on my truck in front due to a battery acid dripping on chassis and could spread fairly quicker
