UPON PURCHASE OF VEHICLE...PREVIOUS OWNER STATED THAT AT 32,000 HE HAD TO HAVE THE FRAME PLATED ON BOTH SIDES IN FRONT OF REAR WHEELS... DO TO EXCESSIVE RUST AND CRACKS.I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH ONLY 57,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK NOW AS OF 5/15/2014. THE TRUCK SAT FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS BECAUSE THE FRAME HAD PROGRESSED TO THE POINT OF NON DRIVE ABILITY.BOTH SIDE FRAME RAILS FROM THE REAR TO THE FRONT AXLES ARE HANGING BY THE FUEL AND BRAKE LINES. RESEARCHED THE SALVAGE YARDS AN ALL SUITABLE DONORS ARE STARTING TO BE THE SAME WAY.I HAD ANOTHER ONE YEAR AN A HALF AGO I HAD TO PLATE IT TOO.THE INSIDE OF THE BEDS ARE ALL CANCER-ED UP AS WELL.VERY POOR METAL QUALITY AND PREPPING.

I WAS TRAVELING ALONG INTERSTATE 10, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE VISIBILITY WAS CLEAR; THE ROADWAY WAS CLEAR OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS. THE TREAD ON THE RIGHT REAR TIRE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS TREAD SEPARATION. THE TIRE HAD JUST BEEN INSPECTED/ROTATED BY A FIRESTONE DEALER WITHIN THE PREVIOUS MONTH. WHEN THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE, THE LOOSE TREAD HIT THE REAR QUARTER PANEL ON MY TRUCK CAUSING $2,000 WORTH OF DAMAGES.*AK (DOT NUMBER: H4P9DJD486 TIRESIZE: P195/75R14)
