Hello everyone,
I require some advice about undercoating on the undercarriage of a RAM 1500 truck, to prevent rusting.
I have a 2016 Dodge RAM 1500 crewcab and it is now 10 months old. I purchased it brand new off the dealer's lot last year. When I bought the vehicle from the dealer, I bought it with a very extensive protection package, including undercoating.
Since winter is now mostly over, I got curious and took a peak underneath my truck and what I saw there shocked me. I don't know very much about vehicles or how undercoating is applied, but to me it looks like there is no undercoating applied at all by the dealer whatsoever. Lots of components are rusting up already such as the axles and cardan. I have posted some pictures as attachment with this thread.
Now, the dealer is probably going to try to get away with it, but I need your opinion if this dealer screwed it up when I bought it. Again, to me it looks like there is no coating applied at all. All silver metal parts, even bolts and screws, nothing is covered in black tar. What do you guys think?
