Default Duuuuumb!

Word to the wise... be careful and pay attention when working on your truck!

I thought I'd clean the Mass Airflow Sensor this weekend. Well, I did successfully, but when reinstalling it, I dropped the second screw that holds it in place. After some poking around, I found it lying on top of the intake... After 20 minutes with tweezers, I finally decided just to take the air box off... I popped it off and was finally able to retrieve the screw. Needless to say, I think I'll be a bit more careful in the future!

Time to buy one of those telescopic magnetic do-hickees that lets you pick up metal screws and the like in tight places.
