An issue I heard about with the dodge drainage is that it's to small and doesn't let the junk out like bits of leaves and stuff letting it rot the steal. I'm attempting to make a large drainage port 1/2 inch by 4 inches to try and fix the rot issue. Probably just passing ING the wind
I have a 2018 ram.1500 and same things is starting to occur on mine. Panels on Rams are not sealing anything as so many gaps between panel and wheel arch. From factory there were panel tabs missing at top or not out by design and that's where rust starts.
Hey great video man and very informative. I am new truck owner just got a 2017 Dodge Ram. I noticed under the vehicle there is some light rust starting to form on the axle and things like that. Any suggestions?
Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, the rust on the axles, frame and control arms under the truck, is going to be a part of life. If you get all the flaky loose bits off and use a good oxide primer and then a rubberized top coat, it will keep it nicer longer, but unless you are under there every month, it's a war you are gonna loose. I would just concentrate on the parts you can see from standing back.
Let me know I can give u my Contact number have this beautiful 2005 dodge ram would hate for it to be worse my dad tried to fix it the way u for and did a terrible job 😂 but yes I would like to fix it have a little rust under the door that’s wants to form too
@@DuchesnesCorner thanks for the helpful video! I just bought an 04 2500 from my mother in law, not even 90k miles on it lol gotta get her all pretty like she used to be!
This rust will return and be even worse as it can do its dirty job now under the raisin and fiberglass. The only way to cure it properly: Cut it out and weld it in new. Then flood the cavities with fat and close the holes in the inner fender with rubber plugs. All else is just temporary.
Good thing I called it a quick repair so it doesn't get worse. But you're right. Been almost 2 years and I think I can see a little bubble starting at one of the corners again.
I did a bunch of rust repair on my 98' dodge. Great job it look good.
Thanks 😊 The other side is gonna be alot more work!
@@DuchesnesCorner Ya it never ends does it.
You should do a update in this truck
I haven't done the other side yet.

Every truck brand seems the same. I have never seen an older truck that doesn't have rusty rear fenders

You can do this for $30. Not a forever repair, but good for a few years.
