in our dually, we had a mud dobber nest fall under the carb linkage once......

to make it worse, the right front rubber brake line was collapsed, we were towing the boat, and we were heading for a construction zone.

its one of those cases where it's just better to shut the motor off and let it engine brake in gear (automatic). We got pulled over just in tme for one of the construction barriers.
