Had my tires balanced a few days ago and found that the exposed part of all wheels bolts on right rear wheel are severly rusted. Taking truck to the dealer today to find out if they can be replaced under warranty.
Has anybody else had similar experiences. I've only got 16K on the truck and its never seen salt or similar treated roads. Thanks

Went to dealer today, pulled wheel off and found rust had not got into threads and dealker wouldn't do anything. I'm going to brush some Navy jelly on the exposed part tomorrow ad hopefull that will stop the rust. Actuall the rust isn't as bad as I first thought.
