    Hi guys, I found a dead mice under the seat. I didn't pay attention to the chewed paper before.... Where should I check? The only thing I can think of where the mice came from is a air vents. Thanks

    Check your cabin air filter in the glove box in case they chewed through that on the way in.

    Check your wiring harnesses they love the soy-based wire coating too.

    I'd check Disneyland first. Then ask Tom.

    Soy or petroleum based wire cover does not matter. Rodents like them all. Personally I have had two vehicles that the mice liked and it was long before soy based wiring covering.

    Meese in the cabin or under the hood is not good..

    Suggestion.....
    1...Spray all wiring under hood with a rust protector such as Rust Check...! (tastes like shit man..)
    2...Check and clean up the mess you will find in the cabin air filter..! Replace filter.
    3...If you park in garage....set traps to get them "before" they find your truck..!
    4...If you can stand to put up with a "garage cat" and the smelly litter box, find a cheap cat, before he gets "uthanized"... at the animal shelter and keep it in the garage to protect yer truck... (don't feed it too much... it needs to be hungry to go after the meeses)...!!

    You should be good to go man..!! :thumbsup::rofl:

    PS... I have "Corrosion Free" sprayed in and on my truck every fall and get no meeses.... no rust.... and nothing binds up due to lack of lubrication. That shit is awesome...!
    All locks, internal hardware is lubed by this stuff.... Nothing ever rusts and the meese don't like the taste..!!

    I have a lightly used cat I will sell you. Only about 5 miles on it. Clean title and no accidents. I changed the kitty litter daily and have the receipts to prove it. She comes with a full tank of milk, and runs like a dream. Asking for $90 OBO. Title in hand.

    All teeth are in showroom condition and all 9 lives are intact. The engine on this thing just PURRS. Trust me. I forgot to mention that I am open to trades as well. I am not looking for anything specific but hope to upgrade to a small dog in the near future.

    Is it near death? You shouldn't need the cat for that long.

    My cat can catch flies, but he balks at anything much bigger than that.

    Would you consider tradin' for a "slightly used" Racoon....?? It is very "stealthy" and will eat table scraps...! Good teeth... It's been a good pet for 2 yrs, but I think it has been
    Would you consider a trade for a not too house-trained Racoon..? It was a great pet for 2 yrs, but lately it just wants to tear up the house.

    "Rocky" is trained to eat whatever he sees. Shit wherever he wants. Likes it when others wait on him.

    Damn, he sounds a lot like MY brother.... hehe..!
