just a word of caution....it appears our 5.0 motors make great nesting places for crappy worthless rodents.
opened my hood to fill the washer bottle. thought I'd take the little cover off the motor just to "look". a mouse or rat or something had eaten the foam surrounding the intake manifold on both sides and made himself a happy home.
could have been that way when I bought it. I never looked under the cosmetic engine cover. who would think to do that.
I was not happy to say the least. no telling how long it has been that way. doesn't seem to be hurting anything.
my car was the dealership owner's loaner, so could have happened at his house, the car lot, or at my house. no telling....no way to prove it. so I'm screwed on getting it fixed by them. I don't even want to know what that foam costs.....so since its running fine....screw it....its fine.
I will be throwing some rat poison on the top under the engine cover though. bastard rodents.
