(Last week)
Ok, I went to meeting over at Division HQ, went inside and a guy came in and said "There's a truck on fire in the parking lot". Said to myself well it can't be mine. Almost 240K on it and runs like a champ. Then he said "I think it has a flat bed on it". So crap, I go outside.....fire trucks, MP's, soldiers all standing around my burnt up truck. Of course because it happened at HQ, 50 millions questions and written statements (Not really that bad but you get the point). It was funny when the MP's asked for insurance and registration......I just pointed to the burned up truck.
So fire marshal ends up telling me this year ford has whats called "Ignition off engine compartment fires" caused by the cruise control module. Now the insurance company of course giving me a hassel, wants credit reports, ECM access (burnt up....good luck), and just standard hassel stuff. I just read on line its the #1 recall in history from any auto maker...never got a recall letter.
Really hot fire....melted the hood, aluminum on the engine, and valve covers
I really liked this truck.......had to actually break down and drive my diesel to go fishing yesterday.
Oh well....
