Finally running again
Well 2 hours later, my new wiring harness is in and my truck runs again. I even sprayed the motor and underside with pepper spray to hopefully stop this from happening again. That squirrel cost me almost 600$. Glad that was the only damage. The new harness was tons of fun to put in, and with a high of 18 today sure made it even better. Thanks for beer and tobacco to help. 
That money could have gone to a nice set of stacks.

So the theory is told. No auto store sells anything to stop animals, so I thought this might help. Someone did say Home Depot sells something for houses. I will have to check it out tomorrow.

Well my neighbors are too close, can you believe they call the cops on me just for shooting a potato gun at night.

I had one in the garage the other day... 12 gauge took care of him but also took some collateral damage with it. The one that showed up the next day got plinked at with the pellet rifle (.22 caliber) but I missed : He hasn't been back tho, I'm hoping he caught the drift.

Had the same thing happen to my 91 F150, only I think it was a mouse. Chewed off 12 wires on top of the left inner fender, took 25 butt splices because it was next to two of the plugs for the wire harness. Am now on the war path for squirrels and mice and gofhers. Lee

Maybe its my diabolical mind at work...but I'd be lacing some dried corn ears with something deadly....and leaving them near the truck where the squirrel will find them.
