Snap ring on the loose....

[HiHoeSilver]

Cold and dark, so until I can actually look around for myself, thought I'd ask for ideas. Loading the truck tonight for tomorrow's show, I found this on the driveway. Don't even know if its from the truck... ideas of where it might have come from if it is from the truck? 1/2" ish.

At the moment, I can't think of anywhere the factory uses such a piece. Anything loose on any of your lawn equipment?

Hmmm, not that I've noticed. It was laying in a spot that would typically be right under my hitch, and the truck would be there anytime the lawn equipment is out. Obviously a snap ring flies, but it would be pretty magical to have gotten where I found it.

I did have the front end over that spot the other day and was fiddling around a lot with the bumper on and off a bunch....

I hate finding something like that. Will drive me nuts.

the only thing up front that would even be remotely close to a snap ring like that would be a oem external transmission cooler. if your truck has one you could easily verify if yours are still place by just looking with a flashlight

Perhaps is for any type of cable held at a bracket or lines held at bracket.

Thanks. Was on my list, too. I did have the grill off...

You load any of your music gear in the back? I could see a snap ring on some drum hardware.

Yes, I did. No snap rings on anything, that I do know.

Aircraft flying overhead dropped it.

Duck!!!! Here comes the toilet dump.

Maybe your neighbor is messing with you and is starting to place random pieces of hardware under your truck.

On a serious note, have you had any work done on the house like plumbing or something where someone else might have parked there?

AC Compressor clutch? I think it's a little small for that though...

Rear brake line where it tees off at the axle to go to both sides. There is a bracket there that holds the tee in place iirc there is a snap ring there

See post #5

Yea I see that I just thought maybe a specific place to look. He said he found it laying under the hitch so it would make sense to be that tee at the axle.

How about the end cap of a u-joint?

 

[OR VietVet]

Wrong size for u-joint.

Have a craftsman ratchet fall apart on you lately?
