    I sure am, just thinking about it. Sounds so hot!

    I bet someone is wondering if maybe a rodent is in there but since all of us regulars here, and anyone that’s read the mega thread and paid attention, know the cowl fastener directly above the blower motor is notorious for leaking directly into the blower motor …. I have my suspicions about what’s happened here.

    Holy shit, if only there was a sticky thread near the top of the forum that talked about the water intrusion points on 1st gen Tundras, it’d be super helpful.
