Consumer Description

APPROX 10 MINUTES AFTER I HAD GOTTEN HOME I HEARD A NOISE AND LOOKED OUTSIDE.. IT WAS 1:20 A.M; I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. AN EXPLOSION COMPLETELY BLEW OFF THE HOOD. THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FIRE WAS HOT ENOUGH THAT THE ALTERNATOR HAD MELTED OFF OF THE TRUCK ITSELF. NO INJURIES OCCURRED FROM THE FIRE. FIRE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. *TR
