Doh!

So who else has dropped the cap to the Rotella Motor oil down in between the radiator and intercooler(a perfect fit by the way)? How'd you get it out? I ended up making a hook out of some round stock to fish it out . Thats my story of the evening...Thanks for letting me share

Haven't dropped the cap off the oil bottle yet, but I've dropped more than 1 tool down between there, makes for a fun time fishing it out.

Back in my college days, dealing w/ qt. containers, the plastic tamper seal wouldn't always stay on the bottle & would fall into the valve cover. Found at least 3 of them when i rebuilt the motor!

oh, well!

man rule #127,,,,anything you drop will go in the smallest and hardest to retrieve place there is.

man rule #128,,,,if its wet or muddy, any part you drop will not fall to the ground, but you will have to crawl under said vehicle to retrieve it.
