WTF -

Is it just me or did you guys find several uncut wire ties and several rubberbands all over your trucks when new????

I have cut at least 5 factory wire ties and as many rubber bands, the last one i just found was at the base of the steering shaft where it goes through the floor!!!!

hehehe - wierd

...and they'll keep popping up all over the engine bay. Oh well.

 

so much for 'dealer prep'

Doesn't bother me.

 

The rubber bands were used to help keep the wiring, hoses, etc.
pulled out of the way as your truck was being assembled, especially when the body was decked to the frame. The odd rubber band laying around beats finding a kinked hose or crushed wire IMO.
