I'm no mechanic, but I'm pretty sure I have identified the problem.

Is that a groundhog? How long since you drove that vehicle.

osage outlaw · « **Reply #2 on:** July 01, 2019, 03:38:35 pm »

Yes and that vehicle gets driven almost every day.

I guess it's relatively cool on top of the intake manifold. Be sure he(she)'s not gnawing on anything.

Maybe Bill Murray can give you a hand.

My son had one chew up a whole bunch of wires up on his car. He was driving it almost every day to.

Looks to be eatin' size! And I hear the hide is good for rawhide! Btw, check his driver's license and proof of insurance! Your policy probably doesn't have a "groundhog protection" clause!

Looks like he's doing pretty good for a quadruped...

And that's why every single woodchuck must die.

He looks like he wants you to hand him a 9/16 wrench.lol I love the picture, but I'm glad it your engine he's working on and not mine. He looks like a real shade tree machanic.

buddy of mine just had to do about 1500 dollars worth of work on a truck that he drives almost every day because a squirrel eat through some stuff on the back side of the engine that ended up required fuel rails and all being replaced. Apparently some of the older vehicles have a vegetable based insulation on some of the wiring that critters seems to enjoy.

At least it wasn't a bear! They have totaled about 10 cars out here this year alone! They don't do engines, though

! Yet!

. Cats seem to have a habit of napping on a warm engine block and getting caught in the belts.

That is a company truck at work. It gets driven all the time. That groundhog keeps going in the garage. We have had to run him out a few times. We saw him crawl up into the engine on that truck. It took some work to get him out.
