The paint job is peeling and the clearcoat is bubbling causing the truck to look horrible. It is a great truck with exception to this.

The spare tire hoist failed causing my spare tire to fall off. Luckily this happened in my driveway. If this had happened on the road it could have caused a fatality to anyone behind me. The cable appears to be the same material that the tailgate cables were made of. The cables were already recalled by GM.
