I filled it with steel wool and wedged the unit out from the wall closer to it’s intended location.

Ripped the interior out from the B panel back, found 4 nesting spots. Wife literally asked me to stop spraying bleach water :rotflmao

Interior back in. Packing today.

Yesterday I changed some of the wiring routing. Ran only the 3 wires that went to the GP controller along the passenger side.

8 gauge feed along drivers side.

The fuel filter and temp sender wires I kept forward and ran them in the cable tray below the cowl, much better.

Return lines: check
Coolant lines and reroute: check
Wiring reroute: check
CDD GP harness: check

Cracked the rear two lines and got fuel on the first 10-sec crank. Engaged GP’s and she fired right off!

30 mile trial run, SUCCESS with no leaks!! AC and CC worked great!

I have mouse and even rabbit issues with eating wiring. Try peppermint spray from Home Depot Also ground red pepper and they make electrical tape with Capsaicin in it. They really like the wires in my 2024 Subaru wrx. Veggie wiring.
Veggie wiring sure is a dumb idea, but it guarantees that these vehicles won't be around in 20yrs....... praise God!

Toyota actually had a recall, because they were using soy in their wiring harnesses, and critters found them quite delicious.

CAT uses rat ***** in the coating on the wires of their newer equipment… keeps the critters from munching, they usually don’t even move in. I think they started doing that in ‘08 or so.
But does it make the cab of the equipment stink on a hot day?

And seriously, this is a legitimate question. I can smell a mouse/rat immediately when they make it past my feline defences to the feed shed. And the cow I milk doesn't like the smell of mouse when I'm milking her, she gets "steppy" and if you've ever had a cow put their foot in the bucket after squeezing a gallon and a half of the good stuff into that bucket, you know what I mean.

I’ve never smelled it, there’s other chemicals they put in the seat and insulation that are also deterrents, but smell pleasant when new. Fades into an earthy, oily mix not unlike our trucks with time and use.

Same with my wife rav4 hybrid
She came home from work with a hybrid malfunction warning, took it to Toyota, and they found some chewed wires that they managed to splice.
Happened again a week later, this time the entire injector harness had to be replaced.
I asked my wife if there was a tree near where she parked, "There was" Told her to park as far away from that area as she could and did not had any more problems.

I don’t have wiring eating issues at this point. Just nesters thinking they own my stuff.

When the pack rats try moving in, that’s when the war begins!!

I HIGHLY suggest an "offensive war". I've got 3 or 4 polydactyl kittens ready to LAUNCH right now! Send me your address.....I don't charge for shipping kittens when I have friends in need!

The polydactyl feature is similar to "iron dome" but more effective! It's like "guided nuclear warhead meets multi-toed cuddly cuteness"!

This is/was Bigfoot, he decided to wonder off about a year ago and didn't come back......but I got some of

You ok shipping cats? They fixed? You sure you don’t wanna just fill your dually bed with cats. Grab a case of seltzers, pickup @IDIBRONCO and his grey poupon and flatbed and go scouring for 3-wheelers in all the tree rows between Florida and Colorado……via Kansas…..?

@Jesus Freak what makes the extra claw so special, you sure it gives them an advantage? Seems like a FL sales gimmick to me…. :rotflmao :dunno cookoo

My coolant tested “F” for Nitrite (I run napakool, no molybdate), -60F and 9.0 for PH (pass) so I just topped up with distilled water.

Kids and I leave Wednesday after work. Northeast Bound and up..We’re loaded up and about to be truck in’. Cant wait to get Wally back on the highway!! Screw the interstate!!
