Should i expect a frame replacement?(pics)

So today when i was changing my oil i noticed some rust starting next to the drivers side cat. Went to the dealer and they are going to call me monday about setting up a inspection. They told me if it does need to be replaced i will be provided with a loner car for the 2-4 month duration.

Im thinking its going to need to be replaced, but i think they are going to try very hard to not do it. What do you guys think?

 

No

 

Yes.

 

Looks rotten to me. If you have that much cancer in one spot, there's got to be more.

 

LOL

Fortunately it's not up to us. Good luck Monday!

 

Figured this would happen. Just thought maybe someone who had a previous experience would chime in

 

I would say you're getting a new frame, the CRC coating won't fix that. LOL Dealers are making very good money as well as the Techs to do these frame swaps. Not in their best interest to deny them

 

I've had mine replaced, and it looked pretty good for a 10 year old frame, other than the spots (mine had it on both sides) you posted in your picture.

As has been stated, the dealer may say different, but I think you're getting a new one.

If it passes, they will coat it with the sauce, and give you a five year (I believe) warranty on the frame. At which point, I would start looking to get rid of it.

 

2-4 months??? Is that normal??

 

Some people have gone 6 months bro

 

From when mine was ordered to when it arrived was about 4 months to the day. I'm taking my truck in on the 30th I think.

 

That was just to get the frame? How long was the total job?

 

Haven't taken it in yet, I was just notified Thursday it was in.

 

So 4 months just to get the frame correct? How long are they saying it will take to do the swap?

 

Yes, 4 months for every thing to come in. They said with the two guys that do them working together on it, 3 to 4 days.

 

Hope so brother good luck

 

It took mine four days to have the frame replaced once they got the control arms in.

 

What vehicle is this rot on?

 

Thanks, me too. We'll see I guess. I really don't need my truck right now so their car will do for me to get around.

 

Mine took 10 months. Maybe 3-4 days to do the swap.
