yep my top tranny line popped off and pumped fluid all over my headers causing a fire. I dont think there is too much damage. Thanks God i had a bottle of water in my truck. If you wannna read more about, I told the whole story on perf truck.net in the tranny section. I think after i fix it the bastage is going up for sale.
**** dude luckily you had that bottle of water. we should all probably carry small fire extinguishers like ff_jeff was saying
i dont carry an extinguisher, if my truck catches fire i have insurance and i will just step back and watch and then go buy a vette :D
sorry to hear about the fire at least you saved it though
i wonder if insurance would give you any more money to document it that you do carry one though. Like I have given them copies of all my receipts and they have taken pictures of all the stuff in the truck to show how much I have put in the truck so in case something does happen I do get something backQuote:

yeah the dust ones are the ones that put them outQuote:

i was just worried about the inner fender burning. the fluid would burn off
I let my mom deal with my insurance lol. I just get tickets and make her pay more..Quote:
