So here in Germany we have a marten (weasel) problem, they like to eat fiberglass.

Last winter my buddy was watching my truck and found this

He said there were no problems so didn't think much of it.

Was out poking my head around after looking at the spark plug wire/Volant topic came up and found these

No clue when this was done. Could've been last year or last night. Truck drives fun. Milage is normal. No check engine light or DTC. Now I have to see of the local dealer has four new wires. Probably not.

Unless I'm missing something these are speak plug wires.

Maybe because there are two plugs on each cylinder, I don't know. I find it incredibly hard to believe that the truck wouldn't lose some power or throw a DTC.

Doesn't one of the guys on mountain men catch martens to sell to fur people? Either way, sounds like you need to go hunting weasels!

$40 from Tasca and they'll be waiting for me when I get home. Stlll boggled about the lack of a DTC/Engine light.

Well if I get stationed at one of the Carolina bases, I'll drive to your house and we can do it in your driveway.
