Dragged for several miles down interstate.
Was behind snow plow so I thought that was where scraping sound was coming from.

Bent the heck out of bracket on passenger side but cover looks fine.
I'm missing the other 3 screws now that held cover on.

Anyone know a cost for those thumbscrews?
I'd just leave the stupid cover off but I don't want warranty issues.

Are you talking about the fiber cover? You can leave it off w/o warranty issues. The manual even advises to remove it if you use your truck offroad.

Yeah that. I'll look at the manual.

Here you go:

For vehicles equipped with a 3.5L Ecoboost™ engine:
Your vehicle is equipped with an underbody transmission shield and
brackets that may become damaged (due to reduced ground clearance)
when taking your vehicle off-road. Remove the shield by disengaging the
fasteners at each corner of the shield. Then, remove the shield rear
brackets by removing the bracket to frame bolts, or have your authorized
dealer perform the work for you.
