What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

[Godwin]

On the way to Bozeman to meet up reiver jr after his boys road trip. This morning at Glacier he opened the glove box to get something and found this.

As luck would have it they spotted the culprit around the pedals so the hunt was on. I hope someone was videoing the resulting chase.

Not sure of their methods but apparently it was flipped into a near by bush. Hopefully there isn't a nest of babies.

He asked me "Do you think that is why the temp guage doesn't work any more and the cruise control keeps cutting out". God only knows what discoveries the coming days will bring.

Need a Cruiser snake.

you know when you find one, most likely there are 10 more......the nesting area would be likely inside the heater core where there is heat

I'm trying to be positive about this. You're not helping much...

Need a Cruiser snake.

Apparently that was discussed as a "solution". I'm 100% sure all three of them were afraid of the mouse so gods what drama a snake would bring.

It's good to carry a ball peen hammer for just such occasions... lol... those little fuggers are cute... but deadly.

So this has the 105 size sector shaft?

I am about to go confirm as the parts from Cruiser TEQ came in today.

@Godwin are they poisonous or venomous? Or just pestilential little nuisances?

It is not the one with the larger shaft like they advertised. I am about to reach out to customer service and get things figured out.

Wasn't over the weekend but my 80 had a case of the Mondays. The culprit was the hose that runs from the radiator to the water neck coming off the cylinder head behind the distributor.

Replace all three, it’s not too bad

This was the last one, the others had been replaced.
