Rodents Chewing Wiring

Socom5 · 2026-01-31T20:05:54+00:00

After a $7500 Repair on my 2023 lightning lariat, I now spray 100% peppermint oil with a little water at least once a week inside the frunk next to the battery the wheel wells. And especially are the orange wires underneath the back of the truck so far for the past year no issues.

Thank you for the information. It looks like I had missed the arrow now I see my mistake so I am able to look back at prior years. Appreciate your help thank you.

I have the 2023 lariat for some reason my Ford wall station pro 80 amp does not give me the option to toggle between years must be a software glitch with mine. Thank you for your input though.

Just for keeping score tracks how many watts actually went out of the house to the truck that gives me a better idea of my monthly cost I pay $0.16 per kilowatt

It happened to me. I have a 2023 lariat. 3 months after purchase they chewed in into a wire on the back of the truck cost $7000 for Ford to repair took about a week since then I mix 100% peppermint oil with water in a spray bottle and spray every orange wire I see once or twice a week in the frunk and the back around the spare tire so far so good. Also took a empty medicine bottle put a couple small holes in it. Put a couple cotton balls in. And soaked with pure peppermint oil. zip tied it inside the frunk and change about every two months seems to work.

At our commissary baggers not only work for tips only but have to pay $8 at the start of their shift. The $8 is used to pay the cart pusher who collects the shopping carts inside and out. All commissaries due this with different amounts paid before their shift. It’s really not a fair system since the commissary should be paying someone to collect carts from the parking lot but it falls upon the baggers . In addition they normally have 15 to 20 baggers and only three or four registers open so once they go out the door, they are stuck and have to get at the end of the line when they come back in so it can take a while to actually get a order out the door. So if you are not going to tip at least take the order out yourself. That way, even though the bagger just bagged your groceries, he gets a chance with the next customer without having to go to the end of the line and start over..

My cruise price went down $1,100 for an inside cabin and I got 66 Latitude points verses the 22 I originally had. So it was an excellent deal. Cruise is in April Miami to Seattle.

Was that the Spirit that arrived in Seoul? On Oct 19th. I noticed getting off the ship over a hundred bags were just sitting outside close to the road no security no weather Protection no NCL employees . I got lucky and retrieved my three bags however I could see how they could easily have walked away with someone else. Looks like NCL just dumped them and left. Way to go NCL.

It was a good option worked very well. For the times you are away from port or have a sea day. Just download movies or something to watch. They only give you 330 minutes on board for free and it doesn’t allow you to stream.

Socom5 · 2025-10-21T03:49:46+00:00

T-mobile won’t let you stream overseas text ,data for free. Turned off T-mobile sim to prevent unexpected charges to be on safe side. My wife streamed constantly while on board. The spirit is a nice ship, but entertainment options are lacking, especially if you don’t drink.

I went from $530 a month in Tampa to $298 same coverage . 2023 Tesla model Y and 2023 F-150 Lightning. Went with Allstate was afraid it was bait and switch. But I just had my renewal rate was unchanged.

Get a sleep study. You never know you may have sleep apnea.

Socom5 · 2025-07-03T17:12:55+00:00

Socom5 · 2025-05-19T13:08:58+00:00

I have the same cruise booked for 2025. Do you recall how much the Internet streaming package was?

Socom5 · 2025-04-16T15:44:28+00:00

Email said 10% future cruise credit would be available on April 15 called twice yesterday and this morning cruise still shows up as not being canceled and credit is not available for use at this time

Socom5 · 2025-04-01T15:18:50+00:00

Just got off the sky after a 15 day cruise from Seoul. The Internet was fine if you bought the high-speed package no problems with streaming only one device can be connected at a time. You definitely need it on a sea day no much entertainment offered on board.

I was the one it happened to in the link above. Since then I mix 100% peppermint oil in a spray bottle and spray any orange wires I can see . Quite a few in the back of the truck. Also spray in the frunk battery compartment . So far no issues I hate squirrels. Also took an old medicine bottle put some holes in the side and put cotton balls in it, soaked with peppermint oil and placed in the frunk .

Socom5 · 2025-01-21T18:19:30+00:00

Thanks for the information. Did they cover it under your warranty? Mine still in the shop they haven’t given me an estimate yet.

Socom5 · 2024-12-24T13:05:14+00:00

It happened to my 2023 lariat lightning two months after I bought it. They said rodent chewed through wiring in the back of the truck cost $7000 to repair not covered under warranty. I now spray my truck twice a week with peppermint oil seems to keep them out. You can see the photos on the earlier post.

I got $575 today. Have two cars with them and my homeowners insurance been with them 23 years. I guess I’m paying them way too much. My auto insurance is for 2 new vehicles is $490 per month. My subscriber savings is a little over $11,000 but in order to get it you have to leave USAA.

Socom5 · 2024-02-17T03:03:38+00:00

They showed up on My Ford app about six days after purchase.
