MAX vs Mice - No Go Colorado
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Remember the Colorado we had donated to the college in a previous video? The one that the mice had made a meal of all the engine wiring.
With limited time and many months later, what was the result? Did the mice win and set up the engine compartment into a cozy rodent Airbnb? I could almost hear them say:
Mouse 1: “Hey, Jerry, I bet you can’t gnaw through that injector wire in under 30 seconds.”
Mouse 2: “Hold my cheese.”
But out of the darkness comes a mild-mannered hero, one who quietly goes about his work, without a word of complaint, tackling the task at hand.
Firstly, the freeloaders and their makeshift nests were evicted. With each piece of wire repaired, he feels a little more like a superhero, wiring man by day, rodent buster by night. After many painstaking hours of electrical repairs, a triumphant grin comes across his face as he hops into the Colorado and starts the engine, a clear sign that he's won this round.

Well done! how many hours did that take? I would try to source a loom first I think. 😲😨
Yes, I did try and source a loom, but most wreckers just cut them off or leave them with the engine. I would hate to think what genuine would be worth! It was mainly the injector section of the wiring, including cam and crank sensors, temp sensors, evap & turbo wastegate solenoids. A few repairs done at the PCM as well as at the fuse box.
I do like a challenge 😁 Also it was a great feeling when it finally fired up.
Very hard to say how long it took to do the entire job, including all the fuel related stuff, as it was an hour here and there. Just throwing a figure out there .....maybe 10 hours???
We now have a 4 cylinder (only running happily on 3 - low compression, which I can use to show a relative compression test) Colorado that we can use. We have been using it for over a year to do suspension, gearboxes, transfer case, clutches and brakes just by pushing it around the workshop. Now we have the added luxury of being able to run the engine to do all engine related diagnostics.
Thanks for your comments. 😉👍
How did you terminate the mouse?😂 Joking
I ended up putting him in a retirement village 🤣
