not sure about the motor yet. i'm trying to work a deal with it and some other stuff. got to talk to the insurance guy monday.

my guess is tranny fluid on the cat. those things get really hot and if a line broke or came loose it would spray right on that right cat and catch for sure. my budy's durango was covered in tranny fluid from being behind me. we checked the oil in the motor today and it was full and clean. there may be hope for the motor. but we will see.

i always thought that front core was alluminum i guess i know for sure it is now. my brand new e-fans and 34"rad and dmax ic are just a big pile of melted alluminum. oh and check this out we were taking the tool box out and i handed my wife the impact to pull the bolts on her side and the hose rubbed my truck and i was like" hey don't scratch the bed" the i kinda laughed and said oh wait never mind. lol old habbit i guess.

Did anyone else have the 6 million dollar man opening sequence running through their head after seeing the burned truck pics???

4.8T: Truck Nut. A truck, barely alive... "Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic truck. 4.8T will be that truck. Better than he was before. Better... Stronger... Faster."
