Just joined here, but I'll add this to comments. If you're having rust issues, it's because it was a truck from the rust-belt. Believe me. I lived in the South for 20 years with my 02 and it never rusted. Now that I"m in Connecticut where the roads are loaded with salt, I'm having to do some serious rust and salt remediation. Nothing that I cannot handle, but if rust is taking over your vehicle, I'll suggest some things...
