Burned Ram

[Highcountry]

Saw what looked like a brand new crew cab flatbed burning this morning. The fire definitely originated in the engine compartment. Thankfully the guy driving it got pulled over and out safely. He made me a little nervous because he kept heading back to the truck and removing propane bottles, but everyone was uninjured. Man once they get going they really rip

Heater grid relay fire possibly?

Or transmission dipstick. Looks like a 19-22.

Found this after pic. Amazing how hot they burn

Looks like a C&C truck, so that would rule out the dipstick fire.

Hard to stay what caused it from the photos.

Definately not a fun experience when youre the one driving.

Some one you know or did you happen upon that? Curious as to the source of the fire.

Yikes, that’s scary. I hope everyone was ok with that one. If it was yours I hope you got a good insurance settlement

It was my 2014.

In March 2022 it was stolen from in front of my house. The criminals ripped a bunch of wires out from behind the dash (assume they were looking for a tracking device)

4 days later the truck was found 100 miles south of my house buried in some brush on a ranch

Insurance paid to fix the truck. July 6th, 2022 while i was driving it the cab started filling with smoke. I pulled into that empty lot, grabbed my stuff and got about 40' from it.

The pic with the flames was about 3 minutes after i started getting smoke. The other pic is after the fire dept hosed it down.

Damn guy, that is just a streak of bad luck. At least you are in one piece and can get a new truck. Hope it works out alright

Got my new 2022 Lonestar last April. Loving it so far

Is that to increase the torque numbers at the rear wheels?
