I had "signs" of rodents in the cab of my truck a few days before I moved back to West Texas this summer. I knew where they were coming in, the missing grommet in the firewall, that I still really haven't remidied yet. I put 1 old fashioned mouse trap under each front seat and a glue trap under my trash bag (I don't use that hook for a purse holder). 2 weeks later I found 1 under the passenger seat, he was a normal size sucker. I left one trap, and a month later I smelled something and pulled out another one, that was just shy of being called a rat.

 

Got a story for you guys,
One afternoon after a argument that I dident win I had to go move this old IH fleetstar that we use for extra parts. It sits just in the corner of our property runs moves and drives but is just eaiser to move with a chain and truck. So I hook the chain to the bumber then to my 94 cummins 4x4. Let her rip haha dosent move, Prorbibly in gear I thought, So I jumped back into the cab poped it into neutral. Out of the corner of my eye I see something move slowly turning my head there is a HUGE raccoon sitting on the seat next to me very casual like. Just looking at me snickers a little and goes back to cleaning himself. Well by that time i was out of there and well that was probibly the most friendly raccoon ive ever seen. Scared the living hell out of me but I do alway get a laught out of that one.

 

Dont forget to quote the labor to remove the exhaust and pour the teeth out.

[QUOTE=dodgeguy71;2288323]that is funny!!

We had a minivan come in on a saturday, dodge. Said there was a loud thump and then alt light came on, heat rising etc.

Found a squirrel had knocked off the serp belt. Went and told customer a squirrel did not like the location of your serp belt and moved it for you. Unfortunately the ladies young daughter heard about the squirrel and was worried if "he was ok". I replaced the belt and told them it was all taken care of and told the girl that I let the squirrel go out back by the trees.

truth be known, he had a date with the trash can as we laughed histerically because they had been driving straight through for about 35 minutes before the thump and had'nt stopped until they got to the dealer. So apparently the squirrel had to build up the courage to comit suicide!![/QUOTE]

I had a visual of the little guy running for all he was worth on the belt until he just couldnt keep up any more. Hammie is fast, but not that fast.

 

We get these kind at our shop every day.

The nastiest ones are always those "lip-stick queens" that are married to doctors and lawyers; female school-teachers are about as bad.

I make myself scarce whenever it is time to move anyone's car, especially if they have small children; those cars you can smell before you open the door.



Then, there are the cat lover people that haul Fluffy around in the car; you sit in the car, pull it inside the shop, get out and stand up, and your clothes look like a mink coat.
