i might be talking out of trun..

but wouldn't u want the build date on the 3rd member then the truck's built date..

cause if the 3rd member had an ealry production date then that might be the problem..


lets say if the truck is an 06 and its 3rd member was built in ealry 05, and that blew u say it was on 06 that broke.. but it was an 05 3rd member.

just somthing to think about...

Ideally that would be the best info. Unfortunately I don't think that most owners would know how to get that info. If you do please share it. At least the truck build date can help to isolate the third member build date.
