The fan is a bear to R and R and the filter has been eaten/worn through =
each time I=E2=80=99ve replaced it so that the mice, the nuts, and =
droppings have been there over months.  I=E2=80=99ve never seen any =
evidence of the mice in the truck except in the filter element.  I have =
no idea how they get in or out as there is a grate over the intake by =
the windshield.
