Hi Glenn
So the one you burned up was it the one that you did all the work on under the hood?

Yep! The oil line for the turbo rubbed on the firewall and when it blew a hole it started a fire.

Yes, its right there in the picture! lol We were just north of Detroit on our way to RRE. I was pulling our Geo behind the TS so we had a ride while we hunted down another truck to buy. Trying to find a rust free truck in Mi is a challenge! I talked the tow truck guy into taking the TS back to the campsite we were at so we had a place to stay. The tow truck company where they took the pickup had a shop there so I had them pull the motor and trans for the new pickup I bought.

Well its good that it was not worse. I saw where a camper caught fire from a tire blow out and they could not get the camper off the truck burned up the whole thing. Saw that somewhere on the internet.
