If you do take it off before I get outta bed, snap couple of pics & let me know how many bolts/screws/snap pins/whatever are needed to be taken off. Thanks!

There are 4 dzus fasteners from what I could see last night, but things were still wet so I didn't bother getting underneath. I will take pics for everyone.

Forums inspire people to stay up late & get out of bed early

You beat me to it. Had to run some errands with the wife and got back just as the rain started. Didn't get to drive it beyond just to park it. I will have comments on the noise level probably tomorrow

I didn't hear any more noise

Looking at what it covers, it is the transmission, and catalytic converters. What I think it really does is prevent some of the sound from the turbos from bouncing off the pavement.

Hmm. I will drive til tomorrow then make a judgement call.

so forgot to tell this now funny story. I put the diaper back on. Next day drove to work. Then after work heard some rubbing notice. Looked under truck. It was on one screw. I guess I didn't tighten up them screws. Haha. It's now off. Loud. !
