    Looks like it could possibly be something that was used to identify the truck during assembly or transport.

    That's strange. I didn't have one before my 15k service, but once I picked my truck up I noticed they placed one in the exact same spot as OP.

    I suspect that the dealership has a "smart scannner" that can read that and identifies your vehicle for more accurate service and records. That and to track what titty bars you frequent...;)

    You got that right, if you like your truck , never ever let a dealer do a complementary wash job on it. Trust me you'll regret it.
