Very Cool !
My 2020 F-250 gasser put up a check engine light yesterday. Put my reader on it and it showed the oil pressure sensor had high voltage. Cleared it and it came back.
I suspected a bad sensor as the oil gauge on the dash showed normal. Took it in to the dealer and got a call today.
Apparently, a rodent has crawled into the engine compartment and went to town eating a wiring harness. The dealer has the harness in stock and will replace it tomorrow. $1100 dollars later I can pick it up. The labor is the killer.
I'm going to turn the area where the truck is parked into a toxic waste land of rodent poison.
Country living sometimes has it's drawbacks.

I totally believe it.
When we lived in Germany back in the 70’s. My dad was in the Air Force, Stationed at Ramstein AFB but worked on Baumholder Army post. He went to get into our yellow Fiat one day after work and turned the key and plum of smoke cam billowing out from under the hood. I remember him telling us that a rat had crawled into the engine somehow to get out of the cold. It had burrowed in and ate most of the ignition wires. Evidentially, it did so much damage we had to get another vehicle because of it.

I've read that the insulation on automotive wiring is soy based. It's tasty to rodents.
That coupled with a warm engine in 0 degree temps was a perfect scenario for those field rats.
Congratulations on the award and good luck with the upcoming competitions!
Good early morning all,
Going over to my brother’s this morning to visit my Mom. She got out of the hospital just before Christmas with pneumonia and is doing much better now.
A few errands after that, then back home to pack for our trip.
Have a great Friday everyone!

Last Friday of the year. Make it great!
Just one of many artillery pieces at the Fort Sill Artillery Museum. This one raises a few questions for me, because most of the outside informational plaques were faded badly from the sun.
Back around 2020 (I think) the wife and I took a trip to South Dakota, and while passing through Nebraska, I saw this historic bridge, so we spent a little time getting pictures. It is still used for local traffic, but most of the "traveling" traffic uses the bridge from where I took this photo.
