| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500,4x4,i have had this for 5 years and the whole back of the wheel well is rotted out,really really bad. As i drive around i see all theses same year dodges have the same problem i have noticed underneath the wheel well there is holes they never filled in when truck was built that's where the rust and corrosion builds up from the salt ,water, and snow,,very unhappy with this situation. Was hoping there can be something done about this problem now i have to fix this. |
