Most of us have heard about the one piece diaper, held on by four plastic twist fasteners

Driving to work this morning i saw a 2015/2016 driving towards me and his undercarriage diaper was dragging on the ground. My truck is 4 or 5 weeks old, I decided to look at mine..

All day long, i was considering taking mine off, so it wouldn't be a problem at some point in the future. Usually at the worst time.

I just looked underneath. Im seeing two, held on by bolts, not plastic twist fasteners. Im undecided at this point, whether to take them off or leave them on.

I looked at my owners manual and it says the 3.5, 2.7 eco and the 3.5 eco have them and to remove them if you are driving off road. 5.0 doesn't?

I believe the opinions that it strictly is there to reduce sound, but it looks fairly secure unless its not reinstalled after an oil change or whatever.

Is this a newer design? If i were to remove them, would I remove both?

I took them all off mine. I figured I would tear them off while plowing snow and easier to deal with in a warm garage then lying in the snow with it hanging off.

I removed the back one to get to the oil plug easier. The front one where the filter drains I left on as the oil drains and does not get in the way. I wasn't going to be removing all the bolts ever time I had to change the oil.

Mine is a one piece design. Am I missing something? Truck manufactured March 2016...are you guys saying the diapers are now two pieces?

I've had mine off for oil change and thorough inspection. Left it off a few days. Decided to put it back on and keep it out of garage just laying around. I notice no sound difference either way. I'll keep mine on I guess. It does keep things a bit cleaner under there I noticed.
