Pixie and Dixie Evicted
Before I noticed the outside of my plenum was smashed in I had already cleaned at this area from the cowl with a vacuum cleaner.

Re: Pixie and Dixie Evicted
Hmmm.....Might not be a bad idea for me to take mine apart and check. I'd hate to cut a hole for no reason but then again I'd hate to not and have a bunch of crud in there.

Re: Pixie and Dixie Evicted
Wonder if that guy ever got his pet badger??? He'd be right at home in there.... and if ever needed, he'd probably kick the truck monkeys a$$.

Re: Pixie and Dixie Evicted
In the bottom near the kick panel there is a weep hole big enough for a giants tears if you can get to it or you may have to remove the heater and use a heater hose or something on a vacumm cleaner.

Re: Pixie and Dixie Evicted
Or use an air hose and be patient.

Re: Pixie and Dixie Evicted
Take out the kick panel vent. You can reach inside with a vacuum nozzle (small one) and clean it out. I also used an air hose to move the stuff around so I could get to it all. You can see the back of the vent in the picture.
Open the vent, on the top is a rod that the bottom of the rod is held by a spring clip. Push up on the clip and down on the rod and out comes the vent. |

Re: Pixie and Dixie Evicted
Here is a suggestion for you guys that do cut the outside of the vent open to clean it out, like richard did. Any truck I do this to I make a patch panel that I put seam sealer on and rivit on so that if it has to be pulled off again it cna be somewhat easily done. Plus I bedliner the inside area like crazy when I do that.
