While greasing my truck today I noticed that the Fuel Tank Protector on the side of the tank had come loose at the front end.....One of the 4 rubber plugs that holds it on was missing.... The front one.... The light aluminum shield had been rubbing the drive shaft at times as there is a mark on it.
I'll go to see if the dealer can get me a replacement.

Here is a pic of what I'm talking about.

Good thing you do your own maintenance because if you took it to the dealer they would've never found that.
