with my hood insulation.. i noticed some missing and then saw it rammed under my plenum near the afpr,, a mouse must of got in and done it. i have to check now and make sure no wires and vacuum lines are chewed up.

 

AHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA Oh man thats funny...

Im sorry getting a laugh at your expense, but ... lol!

Anyways, I would just ditch the hood liner, thats about all its good for is critter insulation.
Probably didnt eat any plastic lines, but the rubber and wiring... I would check that stuff closely.

 

Last time I changed the oil in my Ram I noticed a mouse nest stuffed between the fuel rail and the injector harness. Talk about a brave mouse

 

Speaking of them nasty critters...

One day cleaning out the garage (opposite side that I park my IROC on) I found a mouse head, damn I thought, the cat musta got full when munching on it.

A few weeks later when I was changing my serpetine belt, I look down and see some little fury thing, look a bit closer, and find the rest of the mouse...looks like he got chopped off at the head on startup. Only thing I could hope for was that is was a painful death...I hate mice.

 

Decapitated the little sucker? HaaaHaaaHaa Now that's funny.

I'll have to forward this to some friends.

Fast as a shark~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SAVE NAPSTER!!!

 

Same thing happened to me, only the little f***er managed to snap the plastic line that goes to my pressure regulator...luckily I noticed the mess, looked closer and saw the busted line before I had even tried to start it! Ended up removing the plenum & shop-vac-ing all the insulation and bird seed the little bastard carried up in there!

IROC also! hehe

 

hey ron, next time you see a mouse around your car, go to the garage and get you dreverside floor mat off the shelf and smash the mouse with that!!!

I've had mice under my plenum too, not that big of a deal. Just wait until they find a way into the interior while you've got it parked for winter, then you'll be having some fun.
