    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    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.

    Simply the best turbo kit for late model GM trucks.

    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.
