Well... So, my truck burned down

Glad you’re okay. Everything can be replaced but you can’t. Couldn’t imagine this happen to me with my toddler in the truck.

 

So that square looking thing didn’t act as a fuse, I take it?

 

can be many things. i do know of 2 tundras with cam tower leaks that have started fire. was your timing cover or cam towers leaking that you know of? shit sucks but atleast everyone is ok

 

They might send out a “forensic” guy to look over the vehicle to see what the cause was. Years ago when I worked at an audio shop we installed a huge system in this one’s customers Chrysler. Ended up sending him to a shop that upgrades alternators. They bumped him up to a 250 or 300 amp alternator. Anyway his car caught on fire. He had it towed to our shop after trying to blame up. I’m out there looking with the guy and this dude wasn’t real bright. I could see the power wire we ran from the alternator to the battery had hit the exhaust manifold and shorted and that was the cause. Originally we had that routed and zip tied up neatly. After the place did the alternator they didn’t secure the power wire. Originally they were trying to come after us for it, but afterwards I think they went after the alternator place.

Moral of the story a lot of those investigators lack knowledge/experience. Even if it was something you did, I’m sure it’ll still be covered. Just watch your rates sky rocket after the next time your policy renews

 

How dare you?! A gmc?!

I like the Denali with the 6.2

 

I like the GMC’s front better then the Chevys (I’m sure we can all agree on that)

 

First and foremost I’m glad you’re OK.

My daughter was driving my old ‘86 Ford Windstar with about 140K miles on it, when it caught fire and was totaled. Not hurt at all. It was a blessing in disguise, as I was trying to sell it without luck and ended up getting several thousand dollars in insurance settlement over what I was asking.

Never found the cause, but this was the time of the Ford Exploder fires related to cruise controls shorting out, so I’m thinking that was a likely culprit.

Anyway good luck.

 

Well thankfully it’s comprehensive coverage so no rates being jacked up

 

I don’t even know what that is lol, I didn’t notice fluid leakage tho

 

Must be why they call you "Freetime".

 

That’s not always the case. Especially on a large claim. I believe it varies by company and perhaps also state. You'll have to talk with your agent

 

Good riddance, glad she’s ok

 

What were ya'all doing on the trip before coming back home? Could've raked a line off roading.

 

#%^]!

 

Literally just drove from Glendale to Castaic to hang out by the lake and drove back, took the streets to enjoy the city and views with the cool weather. All on pavement

 

Thanks exactly what I’ve been saying for the past few days

 

Stop scaring me

 

High pressure fuel pump is my guess.


Sorry op.


Next time, 4 banger.

 

Don’t worry man, unless it’s something you did that was deemed the cause I’m sure you’re all good. If you paid a shop to do something and it was their fault then insurance might go after them. If it’s just a build defect or whatever then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Then again I’m no insurance agent and know next to nothing about these types of situations. So take everything I’m saying with a grain of salt, or some muscle relaxers or something lol

 

Oh, and now you are looking at "Bow ties"...Good luck...smells of insurance scam..sorry ya'all, this lie is no longer worth our time.
