i am getting a bunch up surface rust bubbling up at the bottom of my hood scoop. dealer vouched to fix it but i was wondering if anyone else is having this same problem??

yah I've noticed those rust bubbles on trucks with the same hood scoop as yours...must be a common problem.

found a fiberglass scoop that replaces the metal one. this is probly the solution to my problem. little more pricey but wouldnt have to worry bout rust returning.

Is the rust on the scoop or the hood? Got any pics?

Make the dealer fix it under warranty. That should definitely be covered. Unless you have an ungodly amount of miles.

just rolled 12,500. only drive the bee on weekends. i have an 06 work truck with a hemi that tides me over. got it in Feb and already got 40k on that one

the rust is on the scoop along bottom edge on both sides. its not through but it has the paint all bubbled out so its really hard to get pics (thats also the dealers issue). but i will try to get some if the rain ever stops!!
