Graffiti painted underneath at factory - anyone else?

Just picked up my 2020 2500 6.7 Laramie. After laying underneath admiring everything, I noticed some lugnut at the factory had painted "chuchi" on the DPF using undercoat paint. Of course the service department manager claims he's never heard of such a thing, but found out later from a few technicians that they have seen similar things on some other new ones.

Anyone else see anything like this underneath yours?

Would be nice to report how often it may be happening and make Ram roll some heads at the factory.

@RamCares

Would you please make note of this and pass it along to the appropriate complaint group?

Very unprofessional and just another thing to sully the brand.
 
Well- its not a name....its Slang for "Attractive girl" - think of it as a compliment.
 
Good thing it wasn't ciuccio, Italian for jackass. Often Americanized to "chooch" :p
 
The truck is made in Mexico and there is no UAW there. I have seen way more than I care to share with everyone but there are way more secrets than a little writing on your truck.

You are such a tease!
 
I can imagine there have been some unsightly things found in cavities of these rigs.
 
Hey sorry guys I have to keep my job. Whatever you can dream has probably been inside doors and floorpans and other areas. Lot of real estate on our trucks
 
jose needs to take a dump what a better place than in a brand new shiny truck body. Juanita needs to change a tampon what better place to discard the old one does not take much of an imagination to come up with others lol.
 
Yeah all makes sense when something is built in a 3rd world country...
 
Had a Chevy Blazer once, and a note had been scratched into the soft frame paint they use. Meant for the next person in the line I imagine. Something like "You OK?, You mad at me?" like that. It was up side down so the frame was having the suspension installed.
 
Back in 1983 I worked at an Olds dealer and a customer brought a brand new Cutlass Supreme in with a rattle in the door. I took the door panel off and found a Coke bottle tied up by a string with a note in it that said "bet ya had fun finding this". You just never know? I can tell you that it's not like that as much anymore but the BS still goes on.

Customer complained about knocking sound in his hull when he was on plane. Nothing obvious could be seen and worried it was structural his dealer shipped it 1,500 miles back to the factory. Disassembled the decks and found a deadblow hammer and a few Mountain Dew cans in the bilge. This was in the 2010's. If it was just the hammer I could have chocked it up to a mistake.

My Great Grandfather was an assembly worker for Chrysler back in the 50's or 60's, and my Grandmother told me a story about how he had a guy he worked on the line with. Apparently, for fun, this guy would occasionally take a good sized nut, tie string to it, then hang it inside the door frame before he put the panels on. So obviously this would only make noise when making turns, and apparently it lead to a fair number of warranty claims before they finally traced it back to this guy and I assume fired him. Maybe he ended up at an Oldsmobile plant :p
