Yikes! That is absolutely crazy. That is one of those things that you just don't expect to happen. Maybe some faulty wiring? I hope that your insurance will foot the bill for a new truck. I'm very sorry to hear about your misfortune. I wish that there was something that we could do to help.

We had full coverage on the truck. We just have a 500 deductable on it. They said they would pay the loan off. We will still have to have a down payment on another truck.

The truck is now gone. The insurance company has towed it off at my insistance. It was hard enough having to look at it all weekend. It was really sad to see it go.

Did you ever figure out what the cause was?

No, not yet. The fire inspectors report will not be ready until Wednesday.

We haven't seen the fire report yet, but after the fire inspector talked to the witness this is what the FI determined that The official report will read that the fire started from an undetermined source in the bed area. We are not to be blamed for it.

Glad to hear that there was a witness to confirm that you were not at fault. That should make it easier to get the insurance company to cough up the cash for a new vehicle.
