I just finished installing my mud flaps, and noticed my whole freakin drive shaft is completly RUSTED! I know this cant be normal! She has 550 miles on her-thats it! Anybody got the same problem? There are many bolts I saw rusted also. There are rust spots on the bottom of the rear axle where the jack goes. This is not a good start, to go from a Lexus to a GM. Is this normal for rust already?

Dennis , in the long run will it diminish the integrity of the shaft. As in terms of pieces/layers slowly coming off. I guess it is all surface area affected only. So I guess the dealer wont do anything .

Normal condition of ANY vehicle with a drive shaft that isn't painted or carbon fiber.
Take a trip to any car dealership and look under a few new cars..

You think GM would have coated this! Sorry I am a little disappointed to see her with rust already. My Nissan Titan did not have any rust like this. Oh well , still love the H3!! Yeah baby!!

if your titan was a 4x4, it has an Aluminum Driveshaft.. that's why no rust..
