Exhaust heat shield fix

As many have heard rattles underneath their trucks look at the exhaust heat shields as they corrode and the holes gets too big so you have to take the nut off and add larger washers to hold them up. I added 2 washers with upper most 1 with a larger hole to fit over the stud post first so next washer will lock the heat shield tight (when you have the nut off you will see what I mean). The catalytic converter under the drivers side on 4x4 have a 2 piece heat shield and those usually have the 2 bolts rush out and then a thin muffler clamp (2 1/2 inch) holding it on. It protects the front driveshaft and boot. I used a 2 3/4 stainless hose clamp instead of a muffler clamp which looked like overkill as a lightweight shield and the 2 bolts hold it clamped around the cat. Not tech info but after doing these simple fixes all rattles gone.
