| The frame on the truck is cracked several inches in a couple of places and rotted. it is very thin and i was told there was nothing solid to weld to and repair it. they said i would have to have the frame replaced. the truck has just turned 100000 miles. i have had it for six years and take excellent care of it. it runs great. the body is in excellent shape, there is one small hole in the driver side rocker panel i was going to repair in the near future ( i do not know if i will now bother). other than that the body is near perfect. there is no rot in the floors or truck bed. the repair shop could not believe how bad the frame is when the truck looks so great. i have found a number of complaints on the internet similar to this, maybe if enough people speak up something will get done. also, the anti lock brakes have not worked for some time now. i was told they get rust in the assembly and do not work right. i have also had several brake lines break and need to be replaced. i realize that brake lines do rust over time and do need to be replaced (they should be made from stainless steel from the factory) but the anti locks should work and a frame should not rot and crack as it has. | |||

| Attempting to stop for a school bus, as i pressed on the brake pedal it went to the floor and the truck did not come to a complete stop. after pulling over, it was discovered that the brake line was leaking fluid on the ground. upon further inspection, noticed the brake lines are corroded. be it know that the frame and body parts on this truck are also rusted as to not pass state inspection. the truck is just over 10 years old and unsafe to drive due to multiple manufacture defects. | |||
