Description of the problem	Team: i was replacing the rear shocks when i noticed a weird rust pattern on the cross member near the right frame & catalytic convertor. It looked like orange peel or a rose blooming. I checked the rest of the frame while i was under there. I have done cosmetic rust prevention in the past. Since i'm a diyer & proactive, i grabbed a paint tool to scrape the rust to get to bare metal so i could treat/prime it. Lol not only did the top layer of metal come off, the entire cross member disintegrated into brittle metal chunks which i saved/documented. There's a 4" square section that's gone. Since this is a 400 hp vehicle, i'm sure the frame will tear itself apart eventually even though i baby the truck. E. G. No dents i surmise that water has been trapped up there since i bought the vehicle resulting in frame failure. The metal has no strength. Lol i don't want anybody gettting hurt, so please advise others.
