The dealer got lucky that they do not have to relpace it anymore, the towing company has to since they dented it when they were trying to get me out. I think stacks are the alternative to cleaning the bumper every week

 

Then you just clean the bedsides every week.

 

and the roof, hood, windshield.......

 

You have to park the other way, I love the looks and sound but hate cleaning mine.

 

That is fine since I was it every week anyway.

 

I don't see how the dealer was responsible for soot damage when the truck they sold you didn't soot?

 

All trucks will blow some smoke stock, even the new ones with the DPF I have seen running around.

 

Yes it did, it de-chromed BEFORE I bombed it. I have to clean it more now, but I still had to clean the soot off once a week before the bombs

 

K I can understand the soot... but what do ya think causes the blue-ish discoloration... Heat from the exhaust?

 

10-4 I think that there are a few cleaners that you can get at the truck stops that will take care of this blue-ish discoloration. I used to have some but my brother thought he needed it and I have never seen it since.
