I stated it was just for fun, so give it up.

Guess I missed the just for fun part, maybe it was somewhere between your ram lasted longer and your Superduty was "self destructing" over a ~$10 part failing at over 200k miles lol.

Another ingenious Ford idea to get you back in the dealership when it falls off.

If a person needs to go back to the dealership to have that hunk of rubber put back on we truly have failed as a great nation.

That would be good, if it lasted until 436,000 miles!

Click bait? Just having some fun...
Until I read that part, I was thinking "Ltngdrvr must be having a bad day to make this into a drama story".

I agree… I was referring to going to the parts department for one.

Those pieces were gone on both my trucks within the first 1,000 miles. Sold both trucks without replacing them and nobody knows the difference. Gate closes and sounds all the same with or without them.

I do enjoy having fun with forum members, pulling a prank every so often, or just posting something that strikes me as funny.
The very best I ever did was back when I had my RAM 2500 CTD.
I had so much fun with this thread, and some of the guys were so gullible!

So as jcb804 mentioned that they were missing on his trucks so it seems no after effects if their missing? Wonder what they really do if they don’t actually seem to do much for absorbing closing of the tail gate at the top edge? I thought they were a sort of bumper stop when closing the gate but maybe only for extreme slamming of the tail gate?

Mine are still in their place so I guess that’s good? Perhaps I could upgrade to a stainless steel screw that way this non used rubber bumper is more secure😂

Mike

That looks pretty solid, I like your idea better than the plastic drywall anchors I used on mine.

Those look better than OEM for sure. And by the way, I just spent $12 for a Ford OEM for one side, just to get another crappy plastic screw that's too short.
