I have not time take off of keys from of truck of only time is took my bags ,open the door and get out the truck and all contents were burned in the fire.
1. Normal driving. The rear of the frame from before the rear shackle to the bumper is rotted. 2. The frame is rotted and now is unsafe to drive due to the suspension components being compromised. 3. I have had the frame repaired at a shop, the rest of the body has no rust on it at all, the engine runs great, interior has held up nice, but the frame rotted out.
