Brake shields
Noticed on a 05 dually there is some kind of aluminum shield over the rear brakes. about 5"x1" if i remember correctly. my 04.5 doesn't though.
is it some kind of upgrade to keep gravel damage down?
i have heard of duys doing $1000 worth of damage to the brakes in deep mud, (oilfield) and this truck of mine will see the same conditions soon. Has any one else heard or seen the of these shields.

Exactly. I pulled mine off, but be prepared with tin snips. The only way to remove them without having to cut a small (3/16" wide) strip is to remove the ABS sensor, something I didn't want to do, so I just *snipped* and into the trash they went.
