And then there was 1 less 93 typhoon

[stashisclay]

Sadly, I loss my Ty today.
i have owned the truck for over 10 years now and have done countless mods/upgrades to the truck.
i purchased it from the 2nd owner back in 02 with 44k on the clock. Prior to tonight it had 87k

I was heading home from work when I started to smell some oil burning. I pulled over and noticed a bit of a drip on the driver's frame rail but couldn't see where it was coming from. I figured I would keep an eye on the oil pressure to make sure it would make the next 20 miles to the house. About 15 miles in i heard a howling noise started to pull over and then a loud boom. I think the rear end detonated and the friction caused a spark hitting the oil drip. Within seconds the oil ignited and started to burn the rear of the truck. The fire hit the gas tank and the rest is history. My Ty is no more. One less 93 white/white non-roof rack truck gone

I can't post pics but if someone wants to host I can send them. It's a sad day....

Damn, Tony, glad you made it out alright and you didn't have the family with you. I can host the pics, I'll send you an email to make sure you have the right email address.

thanks for the kind words.
It was just me so no need to worry about the family.

Not for the weak hearted

That's great you are okay!!!
Are you sure it wasn't gas leaking? Maybe gas and oil mixed. I never knew oil could lite up that easy. You learn something new every day.

Certainly not for the faint of heart. I'm really sorry to see your truck like this, it was in great shape last time we met. Let me know your plans for the truck, once you've thought it over.

Re: And then there was 1 less 93 typhoon

Dude, thats just terrible and makes my gut churn just looking at those pics. I am going to run out and get a extinguisher and just keep it in the back. Too many TY's have been burning here over the last year it seems. I love my truck too much to watch that happen.
