I have a 94, and the paint has been flaking off little by little for the
last 20,000 miles. Each time I take it in they only authorize the
repainting of the panel thats flaking. Its been in 3 times now, each time
takes about a week. The hood was first, then the tailgate and then the bed
rails. Now the roof is starting.
The dealer pays for it each time, but it is such a pain. I guess its better
than nothing.

Alan.
