    The amount of rust on these cars never ceases to amaze me. I live in San Diego and just bought a 15 year old car with 130,000 miles. It doesn’t have a spec of rust on it so I consider myself very lucky.

      It didnt use to be that bad here in the rust belt. They rusted but not as fast. In the old days, they used sand/salt. Now, its all-white stuff. I am not sure its salt. My Chevy truck is 2011, its almost toast. My spindles need to be replaced anlong with everything else up front. Imagine the spindle; thats the thick steal knuckle. Mine is swelled up and is falling apart.

      I live in Michigan and this is the normal 8-10 year old car. You can preserve them a little longer with spraying the underbody but the best method I have had is 2-3 car washes a week. They still rust but not as bad. Dirt roads that they salt are the worst.

I've spent roughly 1100 on repairs, not maintenence, in the last 10 years of ownership. I can't say VW is stellar for reliability either. I think every brand makes a few gems now and then. I'm really big on staying away from excess electronics, turbos and automatic transmissions. Those things alone will generally lead to a more reliable car.

    • @killerwowmaster
      @killerwowmaster ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The reason they rust so bad is because they dont paint the frames, just coat them in wax. The wax chips off and exposes the raw steel frame to the road salt.

    • @userer4579
      @userer4579 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The frames are treated with a brine solution before they are shipped over from China.

    Facing the decision to spend the money for upkeep on my 01 GMC Sierra c3 AWD 6.0 LQ4, over a thousand Caniukistan kopecs for new fuel lines installation, after a $1300 oil pan dipstick, ball joints and brake lines free for all or finding something newer and smaller to pull my trailer. But there is no way, No way I would consider giving GM 50 to 70 thousand dollars for a new one. It could have an option for road head while your driving and it still wouldn't be worth that kind of money.

      Millions of tons of salt on the roads per annum, makes the waterways into brine. It truly is awful. The salting needs to stop. Everyone should gets studs and plow and lay down gravel and deal with the slow going.

  • @benjamincresswell3713

    I have a 2017 GMC Sierra w/ a fuel pump assembly like your 2018. My fuel pump stopped working at 60,000 miles in 2022. For the past 25yrs I have been replacing my GM intank fuel pumps between 60,000 and 80,000 miles so I'd say this guy's just about due at 40K. I got a new pump w/ gas gauge sender from Napa for my 2017 Sierra Part No. NNP. C0790M, but there was some specificity about the size of the bed and number of doors. Mine is a "Double Cab" w/ 78" X 62" Bed/ Box. The pump assbly was made in Mexico. It cost me $276.65 including 6% sales tax. They got it into the store the very next day. My steel hold down ring and locks were plenty rusty but very serviceable. Your 2018 lock ring looks like it's made from laminated steel and are rusting between them. I completely covered all the steel parts with WHEEL BEARING GREASE when I was done to slow the rust down. It took me 2hrs but I drained the tank from nearly full so it wasn't a fire hazard. (In my own garage) The last time Eric did a pump change for evap leak was after he diagnosed it in video: An EVAP Leak 2 Other Shops Couldn't Find. That video was done 5mos ago. He did the repair, but did not record pulling the tank, so I'd like to see the tank R&R Eric if you don't mind recording it this time. ben/ michigan

    Don't feel sorry for them. Nice folks up there but the idea of a vehicle lasting more then 10 years is a foreign concept. The Salt belt is a lucrative new vehicle market. The automakers like it, the states that get the sales tax like it and apparently the consumers that "have" to get a new vehicle to replace the one they didn't fluid film at all, must like it.

      This truck will have mechanical problems before the frame rusts out. These are famous for transmission failure and oil burning.

    It blows my mind that a 5 year old Chevy truck can be that rusty. I used to live in the heart of the rust belt, and I'd only see that sort of frame rust after maybe 10-15 years? Granted, the cabs were falling off of them way before that due to the cab mounts being gone
