Last Monday I was on my way home from work, and I saw this on the back of a truck. I took a pic thinking that I needed to remember where I'd seen one just like this....
I am watching Fab Rats right now, and I figured it out...
I had an interesting one yesterday... lost the bolt for the TB shroud... never hit the floor, still in the bay somewhere. Hunted and hunted... dug around between the injectors and down in the valley with a magnet for 20-30m... nothing. Started it up to go to the junkyard for a replacement, and I hear a light ringing noise, like a cheap bell... lo and behold, it managed to fall into the little gap on the backside of the idler pulley. I had to ram a flexible shop magnet down to the 6:00 position to find it again.
Yesterday I saw a Super Duty with wheels sticking out at least 5" past the fender. They were spacered out so much that at least half the brake caliper was visible from behind the truck.
I'm not sure what's dumber... that or the guy at the junkyard wearing fake leather pants.
When I was replacing the broken dash in my truck Friday, I ran into a little issue. I forgot that Ford hard wired the stupid airbag switch in... so the whole switch has to come off the bezel. I didn't have a 5.5mm socket in the truck with me, and too lazy to go get it. I let it hang down, and snaked it through the hole instead of going back in the garage to get the right socket. Well... it bit me. All three of those little screws broke out of their plastic studs. So, I'm going to make that SOB removable. I ordered a Deutsch style kit for it, and then I'll repair the threaded perches for the screws somehow.

Paint the connectors yellow so nobody probes them in the future and gets a surprise. lol
