Random engine rubber bands

[TheC-Don]

Has anyone else noticed random rubber bands hanging off the engine components? What would these be from? Shipping?

Those are the ultra heavy duty shipping tie-downs. The best part is, they are re-usable!

They were on mine as well; I removed them along with all the random tape bits that weren’t doing anything.

I've seen it; those are using during assembly at the plant. Safe to throw away.

Yea I saw both of those again today, plan on keeping em on like Dodge bumper bananas.

No, but i have found a few random plugs. first time i dropped the skid plate, out fell an orange plug/cap.

first time pulled engine cover there was a green plug/cap laying there.

wierd assembly stuff i guess

One of my rubber bands was actually wrapped in between the brake master cylinder and the booster. I had to break the bolts loose from the booster to remove it.

Don't toss them! They're spare parts!
