Ball Bearing on Floor-Where did it come from?

Found a 1/2" diam ball bearing on ther driver's side floormat and wonder where iot came from. Seats and everything else I looked at seem to work. Where else would a ball bearing be used in the cab? And yes I did check my own head and all screws are loose and the marble count is a few short as usual.

On a serious note, have you been to a shop lately? If so, what for?

I thought I had covered all the stupid answers with the reference to my head but since I missing a few marbles I can't think of everything. Been to a shop Lately - Yes I Have. I had a knock sensor replaced under extended warrranty. All that work was under the hood, dismantled air intake stuff, but that is all I know about what they did. Any ideas based on that?

No ball bearings anywhere on the inside of the truck that I know of...most likely just ended up getting tracked inside or something...

How do the seats slide back and forth? Are they on ball bearings?

Seat slides were my first thought, but could not see any used there.

Hmm... interesting... I found one on the floor a few months after I picked up my '07. It's 1/2" in diameter too. I have no clue. I'll take a picture (if I can find it).

that would be my guess as to where it came from


actually, i would only think the seat tracks could be possible

Exactly where did you find it? Mine was on driver's side floor under my left heel.
