ever seen what, random **** hanging off a chrysler product??? lol

didnt you just have someone else drive your truck for a week or somthing. maybe they were a lil rougher than you wanted and that pot hole was the last straw?

i know ive bent a metal guard into my gas tank.... even high sided my vehicle going over a 3 foot ledge and hit so hard the inertia switch shut the truck off. take that transfer case skid plate ....

Maybe you should let someone ELSE weld it back in place ??

I know I know I was just messin with ya. Didn't you let your brother or someone install the FASS for you? Didn't he screw up the lines when he did the install? Maybe he also forgot to tighten up the mounting bolts?

OK, you've peaked my curiosity, so I just went back and re-looked at the FASS just as I recieved it as well as how it's installed ( if installed CORRECTLY - ) I only see ONE welded piece, and that would be a cross brace on the angle bracket. Even if that brace DID becoome un-welded, I still don't see how it would break away from the truck.

Maybe you just need someone a little more qualified to do the install for you like I had?
