    Hi guys, i want to know what these plugs are meant for. They are in the area designated in the manual for jacking points. Also if anybody can check their truck and feel the frame rail between the plastic things and the tranny mount cross member and check if the surface is perfectly flat or slightly concave feeling going up please. Thanks for reading.

    Yes and there should also be plastic plugs in your lower control arms with a 2017

    What are they listening for? The howling or the whistling?
