Was it actually inside the hose?
like as in embedded in the hose or actually inside the hose?

Well i was under my car changing the oil and i decided to check all my hoses cause the car has been smelling like anti-freeze so i noticed that that something was inside one of the hoses, like something hard.
so i remove it. the flat end was planted where the hose meets the radiator and the sharp end was pushed up into the rubber at an angle.

well ford has never touched the hose nor around there. i have done all the work basically on this car myself. i have never removed that hose either?

the only thing that i can think of is that i have a complimentery can opener free with the car...straight from the factory. you know two guys sitting on lunch break opens his can of V8 and just forgot about it

could this have caused any damage to anything..i dont know what it is like where all the hoses go? like the water pump...radiator....etc

as soon as i can i will get an actual pic of it. im still amazed.

check all your other hoses, your car might need to attend an AA meeting

You have to keep that thing around in the glovebox for the one day when someone ask if you have a bottle opener. You can say with a straight face; I don't, but my car on the other hand.

As far as damage, I couldn't imagine anything happening from it being wedged in there. Goodluck with the treasure hunt see what else you can find.

I have herd stories of bored or disgruntled factory workers hiding things in cars as they are being built as a gag. None of the stories have been funny and neither is yours, sorry some jackass did this to you, and your car.
