Are you certain that it's really squirrels and not rats? I guess it really doesn't make much difference either way.

When I was 15 or 16 years old, I nailed one lengthwise with a slug round from a 12 gauge once.

What was left of him appeared to be turned inside out, like you would do to a sock. The flesh was showing on the outside and the fur was inside.

I'm with you Joe. Squirrels = tree rats and the others are just ground rats.

My Cold Air intake is from Western Diesel and draws air from the top of the grill. the air filter is contained in plastic ductwork. I'll get some photos soon. I figured that if the squirrels were sucked up by the turbo, I could collect the cooked and diced critter comming out the tailpipe

I'd pull the I/C, the compressor housing, and all the intake tubes out all the way to the heads. Look for junk in there, especially on the hot side of the I/C. No big stuff will make it through the I/C, but some crud & crapola could be caught in the housing and I/C.

WTF??? Why would you leave your rig parked long enough for critters to build condos in it...hahahahaha.....I'll agree that squirrels are just tree rats with bushy little tails...i just use the bb gun to run 'em off...i don't want to kill 'em, just wait to see how long it takes for them to LIMP back by....hehehehe.....the 6637 is on my list of stuff to do when money starts rolling in again...but not until....my understanding is that the 6637 will increase the noise...some folks may not want MORE noise from their rig....
