I was wrapping my exhaust head pipes and noticed a few problems
first the vent hose for the transmission was routed way to close to the rear head pipe and burnt in half.
this is a pic of the hose I re routed. It looks closer in the pic than it really is, the other was about an inch away from the head pipe
second, the wires inbetween the gas tank and the engine were rubbing the block, one of the wires was already showing some ware. I just zip tied them up off the block.
maybe not a real big deal but worth checking out. Im not sure what the small wire went to but if it started shorting out while I was 20 miles away from the truck I would be pissed.
