2006 2500HD 4x4 frame issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I looked at a new truck the other day on GMC lot. It had rust on the edges of frame and underside mounts and brackets in quite a few areas. The stock paint/undercoat was peeling and had flakey rust in many areas. I looked a several other new ones nearby, several used ones and wifes 04 burb and none had this issue. Truck had 10 miles on it when I 1st saw it. Any idea whats up or to be worried about?

Wish I had a pic. Almost looked as if it had been on the beach.

Was the truck on a New truck lot????or a scum bag lot. Some unscrupules folks will roll back speedos and sell totaled rigs as other than what they are.....were... I've been burned that way before...That guy still owes me $162,000.00 in damages.

New reputable GMC lot in town of 150K. I asked sales guys to get me shop tech explaination but never heard back. The sales guys always walk away when your not ready to buy that day.
