new pulley installed. tiny dried up mouse found, certainly not stink-source. Haven't hit the spot the nest was with enzyme cleaner yet, hoping that does the trick. Didn't find anything under the dash as I'd feared, but they were running along the line through the firewall for the boost gauge and pyro. chewed the hose but not the pyro wire thankfully. Had just enough slack to just cut it off at the damage. The hole is where the 2.0 throttle cable goes through way up above the accelerator. I pretty much can't reach it. Was going to put a few layers of aluminum tape over it to seal it and make it chew resistant but I can only get a fingertip to it. bah.
I also fucked up pretty bad and side swiped the ram in the dark backing it out of its parking spot to bring into the shop. Took a weird line because no power steering and started to turn way too soon not thinking about how long the Ram is. No glass and no light, but steel and paint. On the _one_ good corner of the car. damnit. I guess either it just matches the rest, or gets paint work when the other three fenders [never] get fixed
