Hope this helps.

big temperature changes are great for the glass business. Hot or cold glass. Although I havent seen too many from cold glass since moving to FL. Most likely there is a rock pit that started the crack. Not very many crack for no reason.
Considering how many Super Dutys are on the road I really dont do that many of them.
(Glazing = flat glass, residential and commercial)

My 04 F250 did it not long after I got it. I think it was from leaving the window open when I was plowing and cranking the defrost. It started in the lower right and went straight across to the lower left. My '05 did exactly the same thing last year, but it didn't do it this past winter.
As far as the Mass insurance question goes... if you have comprehensive coverage, it's basically a no questions asked glass coverage deal. You bring your car/truck to a glass shop, they'll usually call your insurance company to verify coverage and that's it. No deductibles etc.
