Cats sleeping on my engine!!
Last week I purchased a 2013 extended cab and now the neighbor's cats are sleeping on top of my engine.
I've never seen such a large openings in the wheel wells.
Has anyone here had that problem? If so how to I fix it?
Thanks Mike

I have some politically incorrect ways of dealing with a problem like that. Otherwise, for me, the cat needs to out perform the mouse breeding rate to be allowed to hang around.
The wheel well liners might help, or a couple of alarm clocks placed under the hood after you park it.

Looks great! Afraid I'm to old (68) and too round for the trial and error part.
Is there anyway I could talk you into making me a set then selling them to me?
Please send me a PM.
Hope I'm not violating any rules by asking
Thanks Mike

You should talk to your neighbor, his cat is meddling with your property. In any case, if I notice any lurking stray cats, I check underneath before I get in my truck. I try to be careful not to start with any cats under, or in your case, inside the engine. who knows, it might cause inconvenience/damage. Good luck settling it with the neighbor.

I would try the wheel well liner as suggested. It is true that cats will climb in there to escape the cold...do you blame them?? They are on tires a lot too. You could always try spraying your wheel wells with some cat repellant (sold in the pet stores) to help keep them from wanting to climb in there.

Yeah you should tell your neighbor about it. Last thing you want is to tear a cat apart in a fan or something and your neighbor thinks its your fault. I say get the hose ready before you start it and soak em through the grill. Maybe they'll think twice before doing it again.

Inner Fender Flaps
I loaned out the template to a friend of mine, but would be glad to send out a copy once I get it back. It could be drawn on a sheet of paper, folded up, and mailed for you to trace on whatever material you desire. I used a roll of exercise mat for my flaps. Anyone interested, PM me with your address and I'll get it out to you ASAP.

Shrouded E-fans wouldn't be a hazard to a cat, but the belt drive sure would. Water through the grill would never made it onto the engine, you have an A/C condensor, radiator, transmission cooler, and shrouded fans for the water to get through. I like the fender liner idea the best.
