Problem with that car is that it had a big old turbo on it that actually got to hot, either from an incorrect tune or running the shiznit out of it, both probably. It got hot, heat transfered up to the dash area and ignited.

LMAO! I actually tried that but I had just went to the restroom after dropping off BLK6.0HD at his house. I was made as hell that I couldn't even squeez out a single drop. Now if I was Petr North and had taken a lot of zinc I might have been able to produce other "liquid" but that is just plain sick, not to mention what people would have though if they saw me goin to town under the hood of my truck then finishing on my motor. They would probably assume I was Grippy

TMI there guys. 
I have a fire exstinguisher in the cab of my truck and a funny story to go along with it. The first time I got my transmission replaced I just took the truck to a shop that was recommended and had them replace it. The guy took the truck for a test drive after getting the trans in. While on the road the pin in the fire exstinguisher wiggled out and the handle got depressed. The cab filled up from the exstinguisher to where the guy couldn't see and he had to hang his head out the window to get back to the shop. He said it scared the **** outta him when that thing went off. 
I'm not sure how the pin came out since it was a pretty beefy folded over cotter pin but, it did.
Moral of story:
Check exstinguisher pins or make sure it's mounted securely and not laying behind the seat.
