I feel your pain. I just bought this 2016 double cab. I am coming from a 2009 Dodge RAM 1500. That thing was rusting to the ground. I am not bad mouthing RAM. I do live in the rust belt. Just like you like you. I remember seeing on the TV show "Motorweek" last year a segment on putting a water sprinkler under your vehicle in the spring at all four corner. An hour or so each, to rid your ride of the corrosive salts that accumulate over the winter season. The RAM was way beyond that. In fact the frame had rusted so bad, the front fuel tank strap had pulled through it and allowed the fuel tank to nearly fall out of the truck. After I spent $300 getting a plate welded in, Chrysler called and said they had a recall on it... Of course they wouldn't reimburse me the money I had spent on the repair. They said mine wasn't a Chrysler authorized repair. I did allow them to do the recall. At least any subsequent owners wouldn't be saddled with an "unauthorized" repair.

Fithian IL. About halfway between Champaign and Danville. 2016 Chevy Silverado LT 4x4

Southwest Michigan...Three Oaks (or as the saying goes, two oaks and a stump!) in Berrien County.

East central Indiana here! Just trying to get my 50 posts so I can sell some stuff on here

Storm Lake Iowa area here. Recently picked up a very nice '16 Silverado 1500 LT, also about two months ago I inherited my dad's '04 1500 Z-71 with only 63K miles. She's in great shape and I hope to keep it on the road forever.

What's up, Michigangsters? Ypsilanti here. Anyone have their trucks out on the Silver Lake Sand dunes?

Havana il. 2015 Denali 2500hd 2000 GMC 1500 4x4

Old topic I know, just reminding everyone that it's better North of the Mighty Mack.

Does anyone have any tips for trying to keep the rust down during the winter? I bought a used '14 double cab, and I know that being in the rust belt we are pretty much screwed anyways but I want to try to preserve the frame as best as possible. Unfortunately I park outside, so I am somewhat concerned with freezing.

Looking to buy (for a friend) a set of take off Nerf bars in black. He got an all black truck and they put chrome rectangle bars on it. I am in Northern Illinois. (Naperville). Willing to drive 50-75 miles

There are only 12 of us and I'd like to not have to search everyone's whereabouts. I'm from Kingston Illinois. That's between Rockford and De Kalb in a cornfield.

Seein whose out there lmk

Marco? I know of at least one other, Strykers_Inc here in Kansas.

How many members do we have here from MO? I'll start. I'm a new member and a new Chevy owner. Actually, the wife is driving the Chevy. It's a 2007 Trailblazer LT. We bought it yesterday at a used car lot with 4132 miles on it. This is the first Chevy either of us have had. Dare I say, I've always been a Ford guy? Sorry, sister-in-law works for Ford, so I've always liked the deals, but I got a great deal on this Chevy, so I went for it. My first impression so far with this truck, it's NICE!! It's fully loaded and I gotta say, the OnStar thing is awesome! I don't feel near as worried about my wife going out of town with our kids! Ford really screwed up not doing something similar!! We live at the Lake of the Ozarks near Osage Beach. So who else is in MO?

Just wondering if there are any Iowans in the GM-truck site.

anyone else from Illinois?

Anyone from Ohio?
