Lot of that AC compressor stuff going around, apparently.
Mine went out in the Excursion. Decided to fix vs trade because it's an actual unicorn.
Planned to drive our spare F150, and did for a morning. In the space of about 4hrs a squirrel built a nest on the warm engine. Chewed through the distributor wires, vac hoses, 8-10 other wires. Right down to the plugs. $300 mess.
I'm in the squirrel tail business now. If you like a Mepps for whites, you're welcome.
