I noticed these when I was doing my exhaust a while back. I don't remember how many there are but I have these big dumbell lookin weights under my truck. At least one on each side. Anyone know what they are for?

I believe they are sacrificial metal. They rust so your frame doesn't.

Heard they did weights on there to cut down on resonant noise in the pannels, thats the myth I heard in reason behind the design.

I don't know how it works, but I do know that every outboard boat engine on the planet has them so the gearcase doesn't corrode.

If they are anti-corrosion items, then they are call Sacrificial Anodes.
An anode attached to a metal object, to inhibit the objects corrosion. The anode is electrolytically decomposed while the object remains free of damage.  2005 1500 QC Thunder Road Slightly Tweaked     |

I need pics. I don't see anything under my truck. Do these things have wires and digital readouts on them? If so I suggest not touching them and calling the authorities!

Already told yall what they are for. For frequency resonance in the sheet metal, works as a dampner in theory. Does it work, who knows.

Sure appears to be a mass damper.

What they are is 30 lbs. of fuel robbing weight. I took mine off and noticed no difference of any kind right up to 100 mph.
