    Popped my hood today to investigate a rattling sound, and found this, exactly how it was sitting.
    I'm guessing it was from my last oil change at the dealership. Fortunately I found this, because I'm sure this could have done some damage. Glad that was my last free oil change there, because I'm doing my own from now on. And yes I know I need to clean the engine bay.

    Had a 97 Dodge Ram at on point and it had a vacuum issue to lock the front differential. Brought it home from dealer at night, pulled it in garage and saw a weird mark on the garage floor. After opening hood I found a D cell mag light that was resting on the frame rail, up against the wheel well pointed at the ground and still on. Score! Repair was under warranty too

    He should be more careful then. Perhaps he was busy looking at his cell phone and not paying attention...
