Probably rich in fiber, but worthless to your engine.

Oh, I don't know, fiber gives me gas.

Yes that's the air filter housing for a vortec. Clean it out good you should be all right. Never seen those exact types of nuts which is odd cause I work in Walmarts LOL

Beans not beads. They are worth something if you get a few thousand bushels.

So that's where my indian beads went.........

Yeah, they almost look like soybeans, do they split in half when you roll them between your fingers?

Beans? Bean burner? ...better than a rice burner, no?

This reminds me of when I changed the air filter on my truck. The darn box was FULL of straw. Never figured out if a rat made a nest or PO never changed it. Truck lived out on a farm... probably hauling hay.

Whew, looks like they're all there. Just be sure to get them all lined back up properly.

I found a mouse nest in my wifes 2010 Escape air box a few years ago when I changed the filter. I thought it was odd that there was yellow fiberglass insulation in there along w grass and trash. There was no yellow insulation in our house.She works in a metal warehouse and I asked her to see if the walls had yellow insl. It was there and apparently the mouse was getting in the airbox while she worked.A month or so later I looked and the damn mouse was making another nest so I got some rabbit wire and sealed up the opening on the box, no more mouse house in the ford now.
