Morning! I recently purchased a 2015 Silverado 2500 for myself and I’ve come across a few things I didn’t know if anyone else had experience with. 1.) the previous owner had what I assume was a toolbox bolted into the bed and removed it when he sold it so there are about 10 small screw holes through the bed liner, didn’t know if there was a good way to weathertight seal these. 2.) there is some dried concrete in the bed liner and some comments I saw were that chemicals used to remove it also ate away the bed liner so I’m trying to avoid those ones. Not sure if there was a good way to remove it. 3.) the trailer hitch sleeve reducer was left in for a while and has rusted into the hitch itself, I’ve tried hammering it from inside out, using WD-40 and a couple other products with no progress at all.

I ordered my 2008 Silverado in August of 2007. Before it even left the lot I had my GM dealer install a GMPP Performance Exhaust System made by Borla. I have been pleased with this system for its entire life up until this past month. I heard a tingy-vibrating noise from underneath during certain resonant frequencies of the motor. Then it got to the point where when I slammed the door or went over a bump that the tingy sound became a rattle. I recently rolled under the truck to find that my stainless steel GMPP system had rusted though! I am very surprised by this, as I thought that Borla systems had a lifetime warranty. Is this something that GM should cover? I have this part on my original vehicle invoice but I am out of warranty on my truck. Any thoughts? Has anyone else had this issue? I have attached some pictures for reference. I should also note that it rusted through downstream of the muffler. Upstream of the muffler the clamp is cracked and looks like it's ready to break off any day now.
