April Fools' Joke?

[MGregoir]

Is taking the air filter out of a salesman's truck (2007 F-150, the cone style one) and wrapping it in saran wrap going to do any harm other than making the truck run like **** and confuse him?

Judging by the fact he couldn't figure out how to put his truck in 4WD when he got stuck, this one would totally grind things to a halt.

 

[hate2work]

The truck will run very rich and could possibly suck in part of the saran wrap.

 

[IndyIan]

I would say no, as long as he doesn't pull out in traffic expecting to go somewhere!

 

[jmac]

In the diesels damage has been done from overly restricted intakes, in the gas engine I doubt so much, if it even starts.

 

[eljefino]

It shouldn't run that rich since the MAF won't see much air moving. Might be simpler to cut cardboard to the exact correct dimensions and stick that in there.

I think it's a dumb joke though in that he might idle across the lot to traffic then not have any pep to get out of a wreck.

Is the truck unlocked? Do you have a key?

This sounds like a bad idea, like eljefino has said, he sees a car coming and then tries to jump into traffic, and he does not have enough pep to get out of a wreck.

If he can walk away from the accident, he pops the hood since it was low on power and he sees the Saran Wrap, and then you have a detective knocking on your door.

I think you see where this is going.

There is a small station wagon parked in our lot outside right now that is completely filled with balloons. I'd love to be out there when whoever owns it comes back.

+1.

If you can get to the airbox, you can get to the fuse box. Just pull the fuel pump or starter fuse.

They sell whistles in the back of "mad magazine" that you stick in the tailpipe. Hilarity ensues.

[sciphi]

The whistle in the tailpipe is a good one.

If he does not know how to put it in 4WD, just open the door and mash down on the emergency brake pedal. He will never figure out why it won't move.

 

[Thingfish]

Popcorn kernals in the tailpipe...

 

[Chris142]

Run a wire from the starter solonoid to the horn or wire the horn to the AC low pressure switch.

 

[Drew99GT]

How about the banana in the tailpipe?

Awe c'mon! The guy's a Salesmen. At least some never-seize around the steering wheel is in order. Sealing off the aircleaner on a newer vehicle would/could prolly do some damage to the air intake tract. I'd imagine it would start sucking like crazy through the CC breather.

Hillarious! Notice at about the two minute mark when the car pulls out of the shop, takes off down the street, just about crashes into a parked truck, and blows a stop sign while almost crashing into another car at the intersection.

Wow, the two people who were getting the whistles installed at the shop seem to have an IQ of about 70. Combined.

How about the old fake parking ticket trick?
