So my dad,(back in 04') bought a brandy new 2004 ram 2500 CTD 4x4 quad cab,its washed once a week, He lives in upstate ny. not near salt water like me. and about a year ago the paint above the right rear fender started to bubble. He has the dark blue color (forgot the name). any way he has 95k on the truck and the only warranty left is the 100k power train. About a month ago bolth sides started to bubble and chip. I told him to call the dealer, and he did. His argument to them was "i went into a dealer ship, with my sister and from the same salesman, purchased a brand new 48k truck and a brand new hemi durango, i refer ur dealer to 4 other people that buy from u guys, will you fix my paint.?" well long story short, the dealer pretty much said it aint the powertrain so go pack sand buddy. I tell him to call Dodge directly and they looked up his mopar filled vehicle history, tell him to get a quote, 2 new painted bed sides, 4500. Dodge told my dad if he paid the first 1500 they would cover the rest. Not to bad for being out of warranty, the dealer on the other hand......... ...... but surprisingly enough i see quite a few dark colored 3rd gens with rusting fender wells.................. o well silver!!!!
