    What's the course of action for fixing the rear of the cab when it separates? Seam sealer and a few c clamps?

    I replaced my body mount bushings last year, and either I didn't know about this issue before, or it's been caused by that. The truck feels much better, so it's a small price to pay in the long run I guess...

    SEM Seam sealer and I'd throw a couple tack welds on there if it were my truck

    I apparently tend to favor the driver side too in breaking things apparently.
