#1 of 7 2008 silverado rear bumpers by ftrspeedy Feb 28, 2008 (8:33 pm)
any one else having a rust issue on the rear bumper right side by the tailpipe? i have had my rear bumper replaced once and 2 weeks later it was rusting again. now they won't replace it till spring cause they say its from the salt brine on the roads when i say its something from the exhaust since it only happens on the right side. seems funny huh since we all know salt only gets on the right side of the vehicle...

Replying to: ftrspeedy (Feb 28, 2008 8:33 pm) Yea, I got rust on my 2008 Silverado bumper by the tail pipe. I've had the truck a couple months. I'm taking it in tomorrow for oil change, etc. and I'm going to see what they say about it. Hopefully they won't tell me I need to start using super premium gas. Maybe it's the guarunteed QT gas I use. We'll see. Replies to this message: danvossen (May 16, 2008 4:53 am) csm08 (Nov 02, 2008 1:37 pm) jon69 (Nov 03, 2008 9:53 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: dantana1 (May 15, 2008 4:00 am) Hey, me too. I have an 07 Silverado bought in June of 07 and now I have small "blisters" of rust on the side of my right rear bumper. I have not reported this to my dealer yet. I will the next time I go in for an oil change. Unfortunatly, that side of the bumper looks like it has been hit by something and slightly pushed up on an angle. I noticed this aftter I saw the rust and think this may have occured in a parking lot although there is no sign of any mark on the bumper. I hope the dealer doesn't claim that the rust was caused by this damage.   I'll let you know how I make out.

Replying to: danvossen (May 16, 2008 4:53 am) I have an 07 Silverado Z71. Bought it in March 07. Love the truck. I have rust spots forming on the left rear bumper, drivers side not tail pipe side. Forming on the corner. Noticed it a couple weeks ago while washing it. I take good care of my truck and need to go see the dealer. I doubt this is an exaust issue. Sounds more like poor croming. I've been through one winter and kept the salt from the Mineesota roads off as much as possible. I won't except anything less than a new bumper. I too will keep you posted.

Replying to: csm08 (Nov 02, 2008 1:37 pm) If they're anything like my 2000 that rotted off 3 years ago, good luck at the dealer- plan on buying aftermarket. The dealer will be quick to SELL you one not telling you that it is an aftermarket. Get use to it. Sorry! Replies to this message: csm08 (Nov 04, 2008 3:11 pm)

Replying to: jon69 (Nov 03, 2008 9:53 pm) Stopped at the dealership yesterday, no issues. They are ordering parts. Seems common as he knew what I was talking about and mentioned acid gases from the exaust. I have rust starting on both sides. Bumper is actually several pieces and he said it's a 4-6 hour job to replace the crome ends, nice design. I'm still under the 3 year or 36K mile warranty, lucky I guess.
