Paint peeling off of radiator??

I was wondering if any of you have expierienced this problem with your trucks. I guess that it is not a huge issue but it does look bad from the front of the truck...you can see a large area of bright aluminum through the front grill even with the hood down. I am also quickly approaching the end of my bumper to bumper warranty and was wondering if this should be covered. Any comments or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Its peeling off the intercooler.Look in parking lots.They ALL do it.Takes some black spray paint and shoot it.I think bugs and high pressure washes etc.help hasten it.

What do you expect for only 40K.


Seriously though, they all do it and I can't imagine DC warranting an issue like that.

I've run warranty claims on stuff like that in the past.Took black spray paint,shot it,charged can on R.O. and looked up a fitting op code and sent it on through.Get paid.No biggy.

Thanks for the input. I had considered just getting a can of flat black paint and touching it up, but I figured that I would wait until I took my truck into dealer for service work for the last time before warranty is up. It just seemed to me that if the radiator was not supposed to hold paint or be painted, they would ship them from the factory with no paint on them at all. That is why I thought it could/should be a warranty issue. Thanks again for the feedback!!
