everyone should start carrying a fire extinguisher in their truck. it may not be for your own good, but someone else!
I keep one in mine after trans fluid got on my hot pipes and flamed up.Quote:

that truck is a true legend!! first that i know of in the Houston area with big lip rims!! and still run low 10's, that truck was capable of going 9's with a wheel swap ;)
sorry to hear about the lost Paco ( cousin/good friend )
Seen this over on pt.net a bunch of idiots sat around for at least 8-10 mins watching it burn to the ground not one person used a fire extinguisher or nothing. Just a bunch of idiots laughing. Took at least 12-15 mins for the fire trucks to show up and put it out. Sad to see this Mean truck go.
So sorry to see that truck burn! It remindes me of my buddys car that caught fire from throwing a rod at 42psi of boost. All he could do is stad there and watch it burn on the side of the road. He started buying looking for parts on Ebay the next day lol. He was in big shock and tramatized from the whole thing. He now has the car repainted engine built and going biger and bader than ever. If I lived anywhere near i would offer to help in anyway i could.
Pics of it bout made me sick
looks like frame is bowed some in the one pic?
sucks for sure and can happen at any time to anyone
My truck caught fire from Trans line popping off last month. I had a fire extinguisher and was able to save it. I've since converted to AN style fittings and bought another fire extinguisher.
That's why there's an extinguisher bolted to my trans tunnel. There's times I want to burn the thing down and stand back laughing, but damn that would suck.
Sucks for sure.
Any chance the fire extinguisher can over pressurize in a HOT car?
I know it gets freakishly hot here in the summer months.
From my nitrous CO. days, I know those can rupture easily in a hot car.

But still no laughing matter, that blows hard, sorry to see a great truck go
Fire Supression system can be pricey but can be worth it too. Even if your vehicle still burns, could save you and someone with you.
