Careful with Plenum Holes are Open!

This is was on my son's 95 but it could apply to the SD as well.

His fuel pump was leaking. It is on the valley of that truck if you did not know. The entire time we were working on it, all open holes to engine were capped or plugged with rags to avoid dropping anything into the engine.

As we were finishing up, he went to install the y pipe back to the plenum boots. He had the 1/4" deep socket in his hand to tighten the clamps and it jumps out. It was like Price Of RIght's Plinko Machine. HIt that whole and scooted all the way back to the back cylinder. We could see it with the inspection camera. Removing the plenums, it took us an hour to get it back. The blue in the picture is a magnetic grabber tool

But we got it back, reinstalled everything and currently waiting on the plenum gasket material

to cure before we drive it.
