Anybody ever remove any of their cab mount bolts and see how much water pours out? Anyone drill a hole or two in the frame for it to drain out? Was wondering if anyone else ever noticed this and if there was an easier plan than drilling holes through that hard ass metal..............
I removed a cab mount bolt to put my running boards on and water came out. Thought it was just my truck.............

When I had my cab unbolted to shift it back I noticed the cab mounts were very rusty. While the cab was up I wire brushed and sprayed the mounts and bottom of the cab where the mounts sit with all the same stuff I did the frame with. Must be a designed obsolescence feature to be sure the trucks rust out.
