I can say I have never been in a vehicle on fire either. That sounds like I might have needed new underwear by the end of it, lol. I usually have the family with me when driving my truck, with two in car seats.

What happened with yours ODP? That looks like a rough day.

I found a video of it on YouTube.

I can't lie. My first thought was "Ecodiesel?".

Earlier this afternoon I saw a 4th gen Ram Cummins burning on the opposite side of I-10's shoulder, heading westbound. It was just east of Comfort TX. The fire was very much in the cab and engine bay, but I could still see the Cummins emblem. It started a pretty sizeable brush fire. No news...

My 98 had a 4" turbo back exhaust, with straight through muffler, and sounded mean. I drove it a short distance once with just the downpipe, and holy hell it sounded angry. My 2016 sounds downright docile in comparison, but it is a thousand percent better in all areas...and even in fuel mileage.

I have been to Alaska a few times, in the summer. The Fairbanks area can get pretty warm in the summer, and Anchorage was perfect in July. Except for the mosquitos that could carry small dogs off.

He did open the hood, but it was 80 degrees out. And not exactly stock. SB clutch, 370 marine injectors, #11 plate.

I had a 98 12 valve 4x4 NV4500 truck. Put it on craigslist and it sold for asking within 14 hours. Put it on Friday night, Saturday morning a guy came with cash in hand.

And the petroleum companies thank you for that, lol.

I can run 70mph, in the right lane, and never pass anyone besides the occasional semi. As a matter of fact, I often get passed by semis while maintaining 70 mph. I have also nearly been rear ended on many occasions and been flipped the bird even more often. It is exhausting, frustrating and...

If you remember to unlock and grease the locking pin at least once a year, then it "shouldn't" be an issue. I try to do it at the same time I grease the coupler on my trailer. I also have a master lock that has a big rubber boot on it. So far this combination has lasted a few years. Then...

Not really trying to be a smartass here, but 70mph gets me run over on the interstate. I live in Texas, and the speed limit is 60 close to work, and quickly ranges up to 75. Me doing 80 in a 75 gets a lot of folks huffy as it is. It seems the consensus is that there's nothing mechanically...

Ouch... That

I took it on multiple long trips, 21-22mpg was the norm with it. Hand calculated. My 98 12 valve would do 20mpg, as long as I stayed under 70.
