    Repair people called today with an update. The Curt hitch isn't going to be in until next Wednesday, and the fuel tank shield is on backorder UNTIL FREAKING APRIL! I laughed at the guy when he said that and he told me I could take the truck back until the piece comes in and that it would be fully functional with the crack in it. So I laughed some more...

    I don't believe I'll be off roading anytime soon where the tank cover will be necessary, but I'm kind of at a loss for words on any part backordered for 3 months. No way in heck it could be that high of a demand piece!

    Try ordering an OEM catalytic converter I hear the delay is much longer. As for tank cover with low demand parts they wait til they get enough orders to justify a run and then make a buch. So if you order after they run out you have to wait for them to evenmake them.
