Didn't notice that.... I would probably get some back in there.... IIRC they are studs.

You may want to get an inspection mirror and see if they broke or just worked their way out.

I would check the bottom also.

My guess would be broke....

Just did a quick search for ya... broke studs seem to be a common problem.

If your going home, I would go and fix it there... just take it easy.

I ordered some LT Headers and they came in not long ago...

I used a bolt in the kit and it threaded threw, also used my phone and used the recorder to see inside and it looked clear. But again I wont know till they are fully off. after I get out to WTX and get into the bunk house then it will be put into a shop to have the install done.

Atleast all others are intact still :-)

Thanks for your help!!

I dont understand how this year of truck has so many common problems..
