The only way to settle this is purposely set one on fire and we all stand around
poking at it till it explodes... :B
Am not stuck on this in either case...just wondering out loud why the
whole body burned down...where as other aluminum bodied fires I've
seen pictures of...shows the body pretty much in tact. Smaller too,
so closer to the engine fire. That then leads to another question...did
the bed also burn? As the report posted says the whole thing burned
down to the frame rails...why?
You folks living around me who bought one of these be careful to keep'm
garaged...there might be a mystery fire some night... ;)
Know too much about those bumper shocks...cousin quit as a Sargent in
Calif Highway Patrol back in the 80's
Always told his troopers to NOT walk between them after a crash...but
one trooper did...it destroyed both his knees and wheel chair bound
because artificial stuff wasn't that good back then. Wasn't a fire, but
they compressed and got stuck compressed...to release later with no
warning...
The straw that broke his back was after one accident and the mom was
yelling about her child...he found the lifeless infant underneath the
dash and was the day he quit...
