This could have had something aftermarket wired in incorrectly, had a bad battery or alternator, or could have had any piece of electronics be bad. The parts in these are massed produced so anything could have happened but you have to remember most of these parts are probably used in the 14 trucks and those have been bad. Maybe the truck was shot with a rocket launcher :shrug:

Awesome. If seen tire shine dowsed on to engines and then it starts burning off when it's started. A lot of smoke but I can imagine it being so bad it catches fire.

This is the most probable scenario

I once put "engine Dressing" on my intake (years ago) and I guess some overspray hit the valve covers . after a letting the truck idle in the yard for 10 minutes it did smoke . never used it again

Yeah neither have I but it seems plausible. Maybe the intel is wrong who knows but it would fit I think LOL

Dealers open on Sundays? Religious morons in tx won't let that happen... Some counties still won't let you buy beer you have to drive to next county and bring it back.. you can't buy beer on Sundays neither.. but gun laws are great in tx

I always have enough cold beer on hand to weather the upcoming zombie apocalypse for at least a year...so not being able to purchase beer on Sunday does not really bother me like it should.
