I found a rusted crossmember when I cleaning up my frame. It's the crossmember that runs over the gas tank.

I only found one source for a replacement part. www.amazon.com/dp/B08CC6Y7X7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_pr… The description incorrectly says it is the rear crossmember, but I can tell you this is the correct one for over the gas tank.

    I have a 2004 Sierra with the same issues, but I hired a mobile "Dustless Blaster" to come out and he blasted the rear of the frame and saved me days of work. Total cost was $700 including $100 travel expense.. Expensive, yes, but saved me so much work. I may save the cross member replacement until next next year. Nice detailed video, thanks.

    Nice job with the video Tim! 😁👍 I think those welds look great on the crossmember. Kinda crazy how the tank holds water around that brace, seems like they could have designed it better. Eastwood makes some good products, I've used their stuff a lot. Glad to see another upload from you. Can't wait for the cab corner/rocker video. Take care, be safe and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

    Thank you for this video. I may be doing this to my ‘04 Z71.

    Thanks for the video. I'm working through this on my 2006 Duramax as well. Couple comments/questions: 1) I laughed when you rolled the truck outside and then proceeded to paint with your bare hands and a brush. 2) Why didn't you do the rest of the frame under the cab? I'm debating this myself. 3) Why didn't you do the leaf springs? The rear axle?

    Ooh the advantage of having a yard full of florida trucks that i can rob parts off from ..lol The truck i drive was in michigan 3 years , it took its toll on it ..reese hitch is the first thing that rusted out , kind of scaried me , it went through 3 round style ( reese style frame mount ) hitches in 334,000 miles ..

    Is this a 07-13 gmc or Chevy? I’d love to know where to get the crossmembers.

    Thats a tiny hole. Compared to what my cross member looks like. I would say 3/4 of mine is missing. An definitely needs replaced.
