OK, so I went to the tire shop this weekend to get my new rims thrown on plus an alignment. So the guy asks me if I have been hearing a swishing sound or metal grinding sound while I'm driving. I look under the truck and the fuel tank heat shield is rotted away to just about nothing and is resting against the driveshaft.
So my girlfriend followed me home and she saw sparks the entire time while I was moving. So I went home, whipped out the sheet metal sheers and cut away the whole side of it (that faces the driveshaft). My question is, will it be ok the way it is or do I gotta look for a replacement? Please keep in mind I do not go offroading with the truck or do any major towing. Mostly it is just 3 miles to work and 3 miles home.
