Have you ever looked under the hood of a newer Super Duty???? You can not see any daylight from underneath due to all of the wires, hoses and motor. Pray that you do not drop any tools because they will never hit the ground.

what can all those wires and hoses do? is all that stuff really needed?
I mean honestly here-I have seen less wires in an entire house~~
and then you got hoses-enough lineal feet to plumb a 20 story building~ Twice!
