Even though I washed it with undercarriage spray every winter after every storm I had severe problems with rust & corrosion. Brakes, Gas line, bottom of doors, all bare metal rusting & flaking, bumper okay but from the inside I could see it getting cancer. ...
I've got a 2004 Chevy 2500HD and just replaced all the brake and fuel lines due to rot. Well documented issues with 1999-2008 Silverado's rotting underneath. Only have 51000 miles on it as we use it primarily for towing the fiver so it does not see much winter use. I look at the price for a similarly equipped new truck and shake my head at the $45,000+ cost of admission.
