Huh???

I assume you are referring to the foil looking pad above driveshaft/fuel tank that is coming loose and dragging on rotating driveshaft. I think I saw that they are noise insulating inside under carpet on latest builds to prevent the problem in future. The current trucks have a recall that dealer adds some pop rivets with large washers to secure pad in place and replace hoses or driveshafts damaged. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the input. Yes, that is the issue and I have an apt to insure the insulator doesn't come free by additional securing . While in Labelle FL, there were 2 trucks being held to replace the crankshaft because of scoring.
