Last week my 2000 F-150 literally went up in flames! (http://community.webshots.com/album/109037735DakmVa)

I had only owned it for two weeks. Man, was I down. I thought I would never find another one so beautiful and clean. But I did! http://community.webshots.com/album/113409156GscsGq

It was well worth the extra $1,000 I paid over the 2000 F-150
The insurance fire investigator is still looking into the cause. It's a 2001 F-150 SuperCrew with Lariat interior. I think I actually came out ahead on this experience!

 

Glad to here you came out ahead .... Any ideas as what caused the fire ??? Was it electrical??

 

Not really sure, King. If the investigators can tell it would be a miracle. I suspect it was electrical. Two COP's were replaced a day before by the Honda dealer who sold it to us. They also repaired the door locks so the remote for the alarm they installed would lock/unlock the doors.

I first thought it could have been fuel because they removed the rail to access the #1 plug, but the truck was parked for 40 min.s before bursting into flames. That should have been enough time for the cat or manifolds to cool considering the night chill at 2:00 a.m. 45 degrees.

 

Looks like you got a good deal there

 

That's a nice truck. I think that it did work out in your favor!!

 

Congrats !!!!!!!! Looks like you came out ahead !!!!!!!!!!
