airhorn no good?
It looks like some aluminum (melted piston) has settled inside the airhorn (pic pending)... should I be concerned? I was hoping to fire up the truck tomorrow (after 5 months of silence) but obviously I won't if this is a problem.
Thanks.

I doubt piston debris could end up in the intake.
Now if a turbo imploded, that debris could be found in the intake.
That just looks like casting imperfection, no worries.
