Just picked up a new tremor last week and when I was removing the running boards I noticed a bolt was crooked in what looks to me like the fuel tank heat shield thing. I could have the wrong part as I’m not a mechanic but just want to see if this will hurt anything or if I’m being to petty. If it won’t cause any issues then no big deal. Would hate to sit at the dealership all day for something stupid. Is this an issue? Thank you guys!
All the other bolts holding it on are nice and centered.

If it is secure on there, not loose, it should be OK.

Hi Mitch

Not a worry, but if you are at the dealer for something else, point it out to them, but otherwise, should be okay

It’s secure and not rattle around. This is the most impressive vehicle I have ever owned it rides so nice for a truck! I just wanted to make sure it wouldn’t cause issues bc I’m not very mechanically inclined. Maybe I’ll mention to them at my first oil chance
