    Newbie to trucks here....

    So this fell off my truck b/c the bolts rusted. Where does it go and what is the best way to fix it.
    Not a car/truck guy but I can follow directions.


    Thanks for the help!

    It's the heat shield for your catalytic converter. If your worried about it I would use two hose clamps front and back small ends and attach around the exhaust pipe.

    Hose clamps will do the job, I forgot I had to do this until one of the hose clamps rusted through a couple months ago. I replaced it with a stainless one.
