Here in Illinois to get a safety lane sticker requires having a fire extinguisher to be on-board in the truck. Just a point to ponder, they can be handy.

x2...a fire extinguisher is always good!
my truck caught on fire from a leaky oil pressure senging unit and luckly was in the driveway,and had an extinguisher in the kitchen.
and had the remains of 1/2 of that extinguisher in the bed forgotten about a month later after the problem was thought to be fixed,put it out again.
i now carry one at all times mounted on the tranny hump

Man, you're really lucky you got it put out without a fire extinguisher. My shortbed got caught fire a few weeks and we unloaded all of the fire extinguishers in my house, as well as all my neighbors when finally we had to call the fire department. A new wiring harness later I almost have it fixed. I've learned my lesson though, I will always have a fire extinguisher behind my seat.

damn man that really sucks. but then again we were franticly blowing and waving and everything haha. we prolly looked like a bunch of idiots. but then again it was worth it, cuz if it caught that fuel line which lead to the full tank of hich octane gas, that coulda been bad.

yeah luckily the fire department came before it exploded. Its pretty frustrating to watch your truck sit the and burn with nothing else you can do. Once it started burning under the dash there was no stoppin it.
