Gotcha, yeah that'd be a great way for BD to give back to their customers.Wasn’t a dig at Baja quality. I’m under no delusion he turned his truck off and the Baja wire harness turned flame thrower. Everyone knows Baja makes the highest quality lights, it’s not even debatable (quality). Unless someone hard wires a big ass fuse on a tiny ass wire because they seen on a forum a secret wire goes from here to there. Well then, YouTube happens. That’s just a example on how anything can catch fire, I know nothing about the op’s wiring or blaming him in anyway. .
I think that was a whole lot of something that was hot for a minute. Burning hot enough to ignite but to windy to catch fire. That’s how I read it from the info provided.
I figured when he said anyway possible he was talking free lights for the next rig. You know? Like hey man, we’re sorry your truck burnt up. We saw our lights were on it. If you ever get a replacement shoot us a email. We’ll send ya out a bronco starter kit. Figured you supported us, we could support ya back. Maybe some others will pitch in and make the loss not so painful.
So tell me, what part of this did you not read?BS, I’ve seen four 3516 Caterpillar engines burn up because of coolant leaks spraying on hot exhaust manifolds and one 3612 cat And they were a 50/50 mix.
"It would have to be a rather large heat source with a direct path to the leak, such as a leak spraying directly onto a turbo or manifold, but again, with as rapidly as coolant will quench those components, they would have to be running (relatively hard, at that) in order to maintain that autoignition temperature long enough for it to develop a fire. It's certainly possible for a coolant leak to start a fire when you're driving, but I'm not so certain that would be the case with a vehicle that was actively cooling off"
Cats aren't small engines that cool off quickly either, they would certainly qualify as a rather large heat source, running or otherwise. A little turbo on a 2.7L engine that wasn't running, no, not so much. Seems like whoever you were working with needed a better maintenance program or more competent fire prevention measures too, hopefully you've moved on to greener pastures. I was a lease operator for a field that had a lot of Ajax compressors, and seeing how they maintained their equipment, I wasn't there for very long.
