Now I bought my '14 Z51 7MT Conv. almost two years ago. Oil changes are free but she just turned 15K and Mark, the best mechanic I know at Titus-Will in Olympia, WA and Brian, the service rep recommended the 15K service. No pressure and it was about 200 bucks so, FOR THE FIRST TIME (I have never gone to dealers before to do the recommended checks due to cost, had it done elsewhere for less) I said go for it. The pictures are on my phone so sorry, too lazy to transfer but, in the cabin filter he found the nicest, sweetest, plumpest mouse nest you could imagine. Looked downright cozy. And I was lucky as that was the only signs he found; no chewed wires, fuel lines, no smells, etc. Added another 40 bucks for the new filter and his time. Thanks Titus-Will, thanks Greg and most of all, thanks Mark...whew.

PS went and bought some mouse traps. Don't want any more cases "Of Mice and Men" (sorry Mr. Steinbeck)

^^^
Not sure if you looked at the other recent mouse thread, but there are a lot of great suggestions to trap them.

Good that it was caught before more severe damage was done. Doesn’t take long for the pesky critters to chew up wiring and make a real mess of things.
