- We do a bit of cleanup on this frame with a new tool. The needle scaler! I highly suggest picking one up if you are doing rust removal.

I remember getting rust in my eye when i installed a trailer brake kit....it hurt so bad, i ALWAYS wear glasses from now on lol
I hit my old jeep with a hammer before a transmission swap and realized I needed glasses, wear that for all projects now only wore them when I felt i needed them before and got lucky
Getting ready to replace my cross members in my 02 with the replacement crossmembers online. Glad I found this video segment! Thank you
Been using a needle scaler on my 97 Cheyenne, and found a crack on the right leaf spring that was hidden by scale. So glad I'd been using it.
thanks for the video! great explanations I have a 1999 sierra 1500 Im learning how to care for
I love your shop. Love that lift too. I'm still doing my old Kenworth builds out a detached 2 car garage.
Working on my 2000 wj , found 3 spots at key points rusted out ( where the rear control arms mount to the frame/ unibody) , I need to get a needle scaler after seeing how good they work, thanks.
Thanks for this video. I am glad I found you.
Dang bud you do a great thorough job. I wish I lived near you I'd be taking my truck to you. My 98' Silverado needs a little bit of frame work lol
at harbor freight look by the grinding wheels. I grabbed a couple of the silicone carbide black wheels for the grinder and now I will always reach for those when I’m removing rust and mil scale. It’s very impressive
I saw another video where a guy took a harbor freight impact hammer gun and put a heavy-duty rubber band on the chisel attachment and the other end on the back handle and what it did was turned the tool into a mini jack hammer. worked way better than the scaller
As soon as i saw the map where you are i was like yea hello no wonder it's rusted so bad. i live in California away from the coast and my 1999 Silverado barely has any rust. lucky me.
The great thing about the needle scaler is that it gets into very small areas, like around bolt heads and into corners and will remove old paint too. Some guys like to use the air chisel, which works fine for heavy rust, but try to use one on your gas tank straps, or your crusty brake backing plates, which I did with the scaler.
My first time ever even hearing of a needle scaler now Im going tool shopping after work again
😂😂
I wish I had a compressor. I have the same scaling going on ...im using a drill bit wire brush , takes more time , but its coming along ...great video , I subscribed, & thumbs 👍.
Thanks
Fixed all the same spots on my 02 !
Hey man. Good work. Great vids. Yo i have one that the frame had crakes about half way through on both sides by the transfer case cross member/mount. I can weld but fabricate etc no problem. Do ya know of any kit to fix that or any advice? Just first time i had to deal with this. Or is replacement frame ideal?
Brings me back to my Navy days LOL
I got to bring my Yukon to you, I’m terrified how bad it’s going to be
I’ve been looking for the parts to fix my 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 crew cab But every thing I find is for 2006 and down will they work to help me out my rear cross member and front one are gone
I'm doing the exact same thing to my 07 Silverado classic, I thought my frame was bad. That one is worse, descaling with the air descaler, speed blasting where I need to & painting with chassis saver.
Oh shit hahaha you wouldnt happen to be working on your rear axle too would ya 😅😅😅 same I got an 07 2500 classic, just crawled under to see the crossmember above the middle of the driveshaft where the left plate of the crossmember welded to the frame is shot but the right is fine...
Excellent video! My 2011 1500 is shot. Gas tank strap let go and noticed rust was really bad. Want to buy the kit but can't find 2011....is it same as 1999-06?
Do they make a heavy cross member for the back like the 2500? For the 1500
Colgate removes rust too, I used cole gate to remove rust from tool sockets.
Tabasco sauce works too
That frame is clean
I have a hole on the bottom of the frame. It’s just a yard truck and the Saturday dump run but it runs great and I want to try and get a couple more years out of it. Any advice? You wouldn’t by chance be in or close to NH would you?
I have the same problem in my truck. Where can I find the parts?
Thanx man I enjoyed that vid ….👍😄😄💥💥💥
Rust sucks. I have a new to me 05 Tahoe. The rear for some reason has rust. Surface rust I guess because I can use Krud Cutter and a brush to get it off but we don't see a lot of rust if at all here in Denver. Any frame paint you recommend ?
Yeah I've got an 08 Colorado between 05 and 08 I want to know it's at 4:00 before with a 6-ft bed and it's extra cab like you had on your video and I wanted to find out if it would be very hard to take complete sections out and repairing it or just replace a frame with a good use frame do you have a video on cutting it left section out or rear section out and reinstalling it if you do it'd be super cool this is Ron's hot rods we're on the Ohio and I've done complete chassis for hot rods but not for trucks that I used to be a body collision but never messed with a brain part always the body so if you have any videos please send them to me on your RUclips video channel
Any information on where i can take my truck to get this done at?
Hit front end on 04 Tahoe. Have had 2 shops tell me it’s not worth fixing, it would be “dangerous for family to be in.” Nothing rust wise, just front collision. Are stress creases that common?
I bet the torsion bar receiver and trans mount areas of the frame, as well as cab mounts are gone as well.
nice job
I need that same work done but on an 05 Suburban. Probably a little more problematic.
Badly Rotted Crossmember or any other metal parts can be cut away and replaced with Fabricated part or find a good donour car for its parts
You are doing a good job buddy very good.
Keith Kuhn
All that rust dust cant be good for your lungs bro protect yourself great info✌
Where can you buy cross members
I need to do this on my 1500.... This looks well..fun LOL
Same
wouldn't it be easier to replace with a west coast desert frame, I have a 25 year old k1500, 200k mi hasn't got a speck of rust yet.
so i just traded my 04 escape with a blown tranny for an 01 k2500hd silverado and this is the issue. How much was this repair? or i guess the real question is if i got the truck to you guys would you do a repair like this? do you know anyone that would do this repair?
what do you charge to do this job?
I just got my first truck and was wondering if anyone could tell me how much it costs to fix frame rust? There are some spots where the rust has eaten through and has caused some cracking.
Did ever find out an price have same issue
I am looking at buying a truck tomorrow the same kind of truck he sent me pictures but it’s hard to see I believe it’s that bar that’s going over the gas tank to the frame I have to replace that and I also have to replace the metal thing around the gas tank I don’t know how to fix things so I have to pay somebody to do it is it even worth me buying? It’s a 2006 it has 130,000 miles on it I want to 3000 for it I was try and get it for 2000 but I didn’t wanna buy it if it was gonna cost me like 10,000 to fix it lol
How much do these jobs usually cost?
You want to get the scale off the frame? Go up and down the frame smacking it with 2 or 3 lb sledge hammer its quicker than that needle scaller.and it won't hurt the frame .
I have my 2002 chevy Silverado and needs to have the hole frame replace and how much will it cost me to do it my salf
If you can find a good used frame you may be able to do it for $2500 or so. You can end up getting pretty deep into it so keep an eye on budget if you do it.
Where is this work being done? Does MorFab do the work, or is it just a video company?
How much is it for all that work?
How much does this job cost? I live in Chicago area and my frame is like this maybe worse not sure. lol
What does a job like this cost to do if I hired someone to do it? Have an opportunity to buy this exact model truck and it has the same issue
It can Cost between $400-1200. The more if they have to replace frame parts. I’m working on my F150 2004. Trust me you are better off paying someone to do this dirty job
What’s the price for this kind of work?
How much does this cost
How much cost to do something like this I have a chevy 2003 needs same thing and where you located?
Im in Connecticut, send me an email jpmorfius@gmail.com
I have a 2012 Silverado LS 61 k miles, looks about as bad as this 2006!! What is GM using for steel? Seems like junk to me!,
Whats sad is, a little extra effort by these vehicle manufacturers and they can prime and paint these frames right at the factory before anything is on them and save us a ton of bull shit down the road.
I am quite pissed at the moment. I got a 2019 colorado which I just rinsed off at the car wash, its white in colour and showing rust bleeding through the paint in pin hole size. You might be thinking oh it can't be that bad, there is like 100s of little rust spots all over the doors, box sides and tail gate. These aren't from rock hits either.. Its rust bleeding through a shitty paint job on a new truck..
A 40,000 dollar lemon..
I did a little test, they don't just rub off but you can scotch pad them off. I did one little spot but it totally fucks the clear up.. Trucks going to be a fucking rust bucket in 2 years..
Any other colour other than white and you probably wouldn't even notice it.
That’s just iron contamination brother. Use some Iron Remover spray and it will all come right off. If it’s on top of the clear coat, it has nothing to do with the meta underneath
That’s just bits of snow plow and other iron that kicks up off the road and sticks to your paint. Clay bar will remove them
I live in Maryland and have a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 with 75k miles on it. It's in immaculate condition except the frame is rotting out with large holes. Won't buy another GM product again. Toyota Tundra will be my next purchase. Shame...
They all rust from salt and brine on roads here in south-western Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 .Your lucky you got 20 years . Here I oil my cars and trucks drilling 1/2 inch holes in rockers cab corners doors . I make my own mixture of cooking oil motor oil some used automatic transmission fluid and some phosphoric acid and thinned mineral spirits or diesel and spray using a garden sprayer and or cheap paint spray gun annually hot summers day are best for . I make sure to get oil into all boxed in areas and inside the frame doors tail gate cross members box all lines making sure to stay away to exhaust and manifolds and catalytic converter and wear goggles and oil mist approved fitted respirator
How much did this cost the customer?
With a frame that bad I bet the box has some rot on the crossmembers and wheel wells.
I heard toilet bowl ring was belpscwith stopping rust.
new england ruins so many vehicles lol my 2017 work van in NY is rusty underneath and on certain body spots already.
I found the nicest almost affordable anti rust coating system. I used to use another system but since DUPLICOLOR a company that was known for some really shit products came out with their rubberized frame paint it's works right over that rust converter. I do recommend doing exactly what this guy does by defurring the fuzz and fur scale on the frame hit the frame with rust converters on a paint brush and then use that DUPLICOLOR stuff. I went 2 winters with it now since it's been out since 2016 I got ahold of the stuff Summer 2017 and it stuck on real well. I did use a EURO clear coat over it and touched up a few chronic spots. It has stopped the rust pretty well 4 me...
Do you coat the frame after?
Mine is 2010 2500
What year is that truck? I think its inferior steel on these new trucks!
2004
@@MorFabIndustries I'm surprised, I had a 2004 and the frame was in great shape when I traded it in in 2019. The body was pretty good too. It was the mechanical and electronics that were driving me nuts. Mine was from Fort Wayne.
I need this done on my 01 duramax do you have any one in Ohio you could recommend
I don't know of anyone but you can check autorust.com installer list to see if there is anyone local to you.
How much does a job like normally run
kill joy, I don't know where you're at in Ohio, but McBride Welding in Decatur Indiana fixed a ton of rusted frame on my wife's '03 Avalanche, basically the left frame rail between the wheels, body mount, about half that on the passenger side, around the gas tank, etc. They're doing frame work on my brother-in-laws Wrangler. They're going to do a little on both rails of my '98 Blazer. There were 5 or 6 Chevy trucks/Suburbans in line before us when we got the Avalanche done. Midwest winters suck.
Anyone in Florida you could recommend.
The worst job I ever had was shingling in the middle of summer. Why did everyone want black shingles in the summer? This isn't that bad, but it's gotta be close. I've got to do this job on the truck that I love but I'm not sure I want to do it because if I ever wreck it, they're only gonna pay me $2,000 for it. It's a no win situation.
how much does something like this cost
Wondering the same thing
You forgot your dust mask and ear plugs!!
Needle -scaler: I find a wire wheel does a better job. After the needler, you'll STILL have rust to remove. Wire Wheel, nope. Down to nearly bare metal.
That is true with mild surface rust. When you have 1/8” thick scale covered in undercoating, the wire wheel doesn’t touch it.
Cuánto cuesta ???
Does new England use salt on the roads
They sure do! In liquid form no less.
@@MorFabIndustries gross. In Detroit we at least use rock salt. Lol
@@MorFabIndustries same as in Nebraska, use rock for traction on top when it's real bad
@@chrisjones6165 same in finland but do you guys know why they use the salt? They use it so trucks can drive on the freeway etc atleast thats what my car mech school teacher said but still salt on the roads is gay asf
@@j0lel666 they use salt because it lowers the freezing temp of the water/snow on the ground and reduces chance of ice patches hence making the road WAYYYY safer. really we need to do it around here because you arent driving on these hilly windy roads if it snows without them salting.
I need exactly the same job done on my 2011 could you please pm me a quote?
Shoot me an email morfabindustries@gmail.com
For some reason I dig rust repair videos haha love your work man! Check out mine if you ever get the chance!
Cheap chinese junk steel. 45K for a friggin truck and the frame rots! That used to be the last thing to rot in the 70s
Who mounts the shock on a hollow thin tube.....this is is just insanity
I bet the frame is rotted behind the gas tank too
Uts funny how I had an old truck from 1977 ....frame was way better than trucks 2009..... .... these companies are making trucks to rot away
On the rear cross member of the gas tank, does anyone know if rear tank strap bolt directly to cross member or frame it's self. Thanks in advance.
It bolts directly to the crossmember.
@@MorFabIndustries Thanks for quick response. I appreciate it.
Bether remplace chassis
I'll stick to a wire wheel
Hi pressure water works really nice using a nice very small angle nozzle , then brush or spray phosphoric acid leave over night power wash repeat
@@nickking1510 That's a good idea
Too much work for little gain. Sand blast it with 4000 psi water
Angle it
Where the hell are our consumer protection agencies and highway safety protection agencies? Taxpayers spend billions to fund these agencies and we end up with crap like this. My 05 Chevy is so bad it can't be fixed. Will never buy another Chevy product as long as I live
This is a sin...as far as I'm concerned these new trucks have defective metal
More like welcome to cheap metals....
Please dont put por 15 or undercoating on a frame.
Here for the Chevy, not the soy boy boat...
The hard work is reserved for men..
Chevy has lost their reputation for quality manufacturing. Durable undercoating should have been applied at the factory when the truck was made. I was told they only apply a coat of wax which quickly washes off. Several other companies had the same problem but quickly responded to customer complaints and now thoroughly undercoated their new vehicles at the factory.
So sad, I have a 61 year old vehicle and the frame is perfect , these new vehicles are total junk
My frame is not that bad.
