    My "new to me" 2015 DCSB TRD OR arrived yesterday from Ohio. Auto transport company got it from dealer in Dayton to me here in Iowa.

    Noticed some yellow goop underneath on the frame. Not dried. Still "wet". No petroleum smell.

    Before I call the dealer, just out of curiosity, I thought I would post this photo.

    Anyone have any ideas, other than some road goop that I picked up driving it home from the truck stop.

    1st photo is the goop. 2nd photo is similar, either recent or factory - but dried.IMG_20200521_1714032.jpg IMG_20200521_1713364.jpg

    That looks like the frame coating the dealerships are putting on the frames to extend the rust through warranty

    It’s the frame warranty treatment.

    Thanks to everyone here for the prompt responses! I don't know what I would do without TW and its members. Thanks again.
