Air filter housing off mount
When my wife started our '83 300TDT this morning, she heard a major rattling sound in the engine. It pretty much died down after starting.

I turned off the ignition and had her start it again. I could see that the whole AF housing was loose on its mounts. Essentially free to knock side to side.

Does anyone know how costly of a fix this will be? I just want to get a sense...


Thanks!

$15 in rubber mounts. All you'll need is a 10mm socket.
