There is a doodad , I'm assuming it is some sort of sensor, on the plastic beside the radiator. If you are looking thru the grill from in front of the truck it is on the right. There is no problem with it, just wondering what it is.

Thanks

That is what I was thinking also, but wasn't sure.
Another question. Does anyone have available for download the 6.0 bible for the '04 motors? Or is there even one? I have the '03.25 one already.

How about the plastic "bubble" near the center of the dashboard, right at the base of the windshield? What the heck is that?

Illegal alien detector? Shouldn't that option package come with a heavy duty front bumper or brush guard also?

Thanks guys. You too Tim.
