    While changing my oil I noticed that the driver's side CAT, mounted under the driver's floor pan has a bolt on heat shield / cover, while the passenger side is absent of this heat shield / cover.

    Did I get shorted a heat shield?

    Can anyone advise if they have the same setup under their truck.

    I snapped pics of both sides. Seems odd that the heat shield would be absent the side where all of the cooling lines are routed for the transmission.

    Thanks for your help.

    First pic is driver's side, second pic is passenger's side.
