I think my favorite is how Subaru puts plastic armor over them to prevent rust, but has to remove it at the ends so the flare nuts will fit right, and therefore water wicks under the plastic and eats the exposed ends right by the flare nuts anyways. And how Chrysler puts steel wire coiled around the lines to protect them from gravel, but all it really does is act as a very effective saltwater trap that again rots the steel pipe.

Ford did that on the filler neck on my Mustang. Nice corrugated plastic to keep all the poo poo out. And by 'keep all the poo poo out', I mean 'trap absolutely loving everything' so the filler neck rusts into oblivion while it looks fine at a glance. I probably dumped close to quarter pound of bullshit out of there when I changed the neck.

What year did the 5.3s start getting DoD?

Friend of mine has an older 5.3 Yukon that he's trying to learn how to wrench on. Pretty sure his is too old for that, but it'd be nice to be able to warn him of potential issues. He has really low miles on it (<100k), at least....

I believe it showed up with the Gen IVs in 2005.
