Heh..
Like this one for my O2 sensor that was burned.
http://members.***.net/wilsond/temp/damage.jpg
That happened down on the engine just forward of
where the O2 sensor harness clips to the oil pan.
There is a bolt and clip that holds it to the
engine block. Seems it can get a _tad_ too close
to the header or get pinched in the clip. The
excess heat also makes the wire brittle, I had to
clean and strip about 4" of wire and re-inusulate
it with rubber tape. (splicing is optional)
To reroute it I used the upper rear PS adjustment
bolt to hold the clip in and ran the wire way clear
of the header.
Sorry, no pics. :( I need to clean up some space on
the ol website.

Ahh yes... I found that my Astro was too light in the rear for the snow...
the addition of three amps and 2-12" subs has really planted those rear
tires in slippery conditions.
