problem #1

Feb 092019

Silverado 1500 LT 5.3L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11,806 miles

The dealer said it was probably from a stone chip. I wanted the chrome bumper over the painted one because I thought it was a tougher material. Apparently GM switched from the standard chrome dipping procedure to a water based one.

If the second bumper also develops rust spots, I will have a 3M clear wrap installed on the new one. Just to protect it once the warranty is out.

Definitely annoying to have the front of a truck so fragile.
