My 2016 has done this. I had it repaired 2 months ago, of course they would not guarantee the work, but I thought it would at least get me a year or two. $2k and 2 months later it has started bubbling out where it had been prior. I'd been ahead to of spent another 2k and had the bed side replaced. Live and learn.

Man, that was a great job. thanks

Great video, great step by step esp with tool use. Thanks.

Thank you!

a 3 year old truck here in eastern canada could have rust poping like that :O

Well done video Kyle. As are all your others :-).

Super detail.

Fluid film or wool wax from day one will greatly help this issue

Not really. The foam the factory uses is designed to keep anything out of it. Obviously it doesn’t work but I’ve seen trucks that were rust proved from day one and they still rot. Unless you get that foam out of there there’s nothing that will stop it.

WTF FOAM, rust promoter, crazy Great Video

That foam has killed many truck wheel arches over the years. Every brand. I wonder if they will find a new way of either blocking or draining moisture.

But good video on what to do if this comes into my shop to avoid replacing bed side

Here in buffalo that truck would have been in the junk yard 7 years ago from all the rot...

Excellent work. I have a 2006 Dodge 2500 which has the small start of that starting on both rear wheel wells. Do you know if they sell a inner well piece for my truck. Thank you

yep...my '08 superduty is rusting in that exact spot.

Hey kyle i have a 2016 f350 thats doing this and needs fixed the correct way and painted would also like the bed rails replaced other than that its in good shape id like to link up

Thanks! Do more rust repair videos. 😬

Kyle how did you repair and treat the outer piece of sheet metal? It looks like it was rusted all the way through in some areas. Is there a product that you can put on each side that will encapsulate the rust and make it impossible to pop back through?

Do they make plastic inner wheel wells so they don’t rust?

Wow this guy really cares about his truck to spend money on a repair like this

What would a repair on each side cost. On each side? Took mine to a shop to get a quote they said just get a new bed.

Where did you find that inner liner piece?

What kind of primer do you use?

What was done to the outer panel, you didn't show any repair besides grinding out the holes.

How much would something like this cost to do. I just noticed on my 1999 f250 a little bubbling starting on the one wheel well like this. I’d love to get this done.

Where are you located? I have an 06 F 150 doing the same thing. The truck has 108k on it and is very very clean. I dont have 100k for a new truck. No one in Missouri does body work, they all want to put an OEM from ford bedside on it. I would drive the truck there and fly back and call me when it's done. How much for the same repair and get the foam out of both sides?

Putting new bedside on is the proper way of repairing rust. Blue collar Kyle is an awesome body man, but that repair will only last 6 months before bubbling back up. Can't stop rust once it stops

Who in their right mind would put foam there….. holy ship.

Same crap Ford did on my E-350 van in the rocker below the sliding side door, filled it with foam so it rotted out. How stupid.

Shame on you Ford for putting all that moisture laden foam in all the Ford trucks.

Great job Ford...

Try living in Canada. My 16 is rotted through. Never ever buying another Ford. Thst glue is also in the hood and door seams btw. Even more fun is the fact dealers will line x beds on every truck as an upsell then you find out the repair u did here is 7000 bucks due to the bed Liner etc

Went to a local body shop Friday and asked for a estimate and he told me straight up no just put a flat bed on it and walked back into the shop that guy was a total ahole

What in gods name are you doing ??? Rust ??

Your supposed to put duraglass over the rust it will just bubble out

@zanestroud639

Duraglass would only be if you ground the steel too thin and needed to reinforce it. No where on a can of dura glass does it say it prevents rust. As long as you get ALL the rust off it should not rust again, at least in that area. The repair he made was fine and what any other bodyman that knows what he is doing, would do.

@@zanestroud639 lol that is funny. The only lifetime warranty that issued on rust repair is on full panel replacement. Filler soaks moisture up like a sponge unless you use fiberglass filler, then it will still eventually bubble back up. I live in Virginia and have repaired other people's filler jobs over rust holes, it does not last until the affected metal is cut out and new metal is put back in its place. You are the one that has no clue what they are talking about
