The Dreaded P0333 Has Come For Me

Happy MLK day everyone,

I got off work last night to find a CEL on and my trac off light illuminated as well. I checked the code and it said P0333. After some digging it appears to be a common symptom of rodent damage. My co-worker mentioned something about his Subaru acting weird like it had some electrical damage last week because he left his car overnight at work....

My truck went into limp mode on the drive home... So i have to fix this shit ASAP. It's dumping snow here and my day off to ski some pow is.. Tmro.

Let me know of any advice you have for this project or some pro tips.

I'm using this thread and another more specific to the job for reference

Going to try and cut the coolant pipes I guess, I'm scared

 

Understandable.
If I "had" to cut the coolant pipe, I would consider using a small piece of hose between the 2 pipes when I "clamped" the togater again.
That way they don't rub against themselves and leak later.

And yes, I'd cut the coolant hose bracket on my truck. Because it's my truck and it would save me A LOT of time.
I would not do it on someone else. I'd do it the "right way".
