EVERYBODY!

Just pull the inspection plug if you don't know. Ten minutes, tops.

I'm sure I got PMR's. I'm gonna pull just in case they were out that week.

I just wanna know how this list matches up to guy's that have pulled the plug.

They did this as a test run. They started producing trucks with PMR's for a while and went back to forged. They were going to change completely over to PMR's but need to make sure there were not going to be any problems with them in the real world. When there were no issues (in stock form) then they officially made the switch and didn't go back again.

If you are the second owner of the truck, check the hole. You never know what has been done before you.
Like said above, it is the only way to be 100% and it doesn't take long, but you're the only owner, you can trust those #'s
