Recently my diesel pickup failed its emission test(opacity). The truck spends most of its life chillin' in the garage. I bought a new air filter, and when I went to install it, the old one was completely filled with a mouse nest that had been sucked up! Not sure how I even made it to the testing station. I'm not sure where to put the capsaicin tape ;-} On Thu, Oct 5, 2017 at 7:40 AM, Neil N <musomuso@gmail.com> wrote: > True.
