What is this thing on the exhaust?

That's called a mass damper. It is just a steel cylinder, usually partially filled with lead shot. Its weight is tuned to change the natural frequency of a problem vibration. I've never seen one just like that but I have seen them on other Fords. That clamp-on version looks like a dealer-installed TSB fix for an idle vibration or an exhasut drone.

Bob works for them, so of course he'd make up a good cover story...

Took the truck to the ford dealer, they are looking at that and my ac gets warm for no reason so Im truckless until tomorrow. I want that thing off and they are suppose to check to see if it needs it, I dont want to have it snag on something while im driving around and ripping out my whole exhaust cause that would just suck ***.
