    crap bolted and welded together....
    Is it possible it was left running over night or had some sort of short in it?

    Or have they actually got proof it was destroyed by low life's?

    It is possible there was a short, but based on the OPs post they are treating it as arson. I know the older prentice bunchers had a habit of burning themselves up randomly.

    Yea, I heard about it. Heard the batteries where switched off, so it was arson and not an electrical issue. Pretty shitty this stuff still happens.

    Are you thinking possible insurance fraud then as well?

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    Latest weirdness - No ignition key, press the brake, and all dash lights come on. Open the door and there's a solid warning tone. Foot off the brake, everything turns off. This is about a 7 on the Odd-o-meter.

    I just recently let my truck sit in sub-zero temps for 5 days while on vacation. Didn't think to go out and start it. Had to get a jump, then drove 5 hours home with zero issues. After work yesterday I pulled the battery positive for a couple hours to reset the ECU, but the issue remains. Next step is to look at the tail lights...I added LED strip lights for extended braking/blinker indicators a year ago. Maybe one of those is now shorting out. Hmm... <scratching head>

    Also need to pull my stereo as I suspect there's a broken RCA solder joint causing a speaker to fade in and out. Stereo King charged me $40 for new RCAs, stating that was the problem. The next day I drove to Eastern Oregon and about an hour out, the speaker started fading/crackling in and out again. Pulling the right side of the dash bezel to the left restores sound, so obviously it's a physical problem of some sort.

    FU 2016.

    I do a lot of research and mistake-making. Had a bit of a lug debacle, it helps to call the company before ordering!!
    Lots of people needing installs from you in my neighborhood, huh? I've been working from home more often lately due to personal appointments and projects. Doing same hopefully most of this week
