so i was sleepin real good, maybe even having a nice dream, i dont remember.. then all the sudden i wake up for no reason, and smell burning plastic.. i look around my room and then look out one of my bedroom windows and see smoke rolling, where my truck is parked.. didnt think too much of it, but went outside to see what it was.. sure enough, the fan shroud and one of the radiator hoses was on fire.. the battery charger i had on my battery caught on fire and was probably goin atleast for an hour(around 5am)... at first i didnt know what to do, so i grabbed some rags that were laying around to try and swat it out and shit, but that didnt help much.. so i went to the garage fridge to see if there was any flour or any sort of powder stuff in it, but there wasnt, so i went inside and found some cornmeal and went back outside and threw it all over the place and it put it out, and i knocked the charger on the ground and beat it up, lol.. it was my fault though.. so nothing to blame but myself.. **** it.. motor is shot anyway, but its a good thing it didnt get on that because my intake is off... KABOOM it would have went, lollerskates :-\

keep one in the garage.

yeah i know.. im stupid.. we have a fire extinguisher, but i dont know how to use it.. and if im not mistaken theres certain types of extinguishers for different uses.. but none the less i got the fire out

Is it just me but ever since you bought this truck you have had nothing but trouble with it??

its an S10 its standard lol.

i hated my blazer nothing but issues.

i wasn't trying to be a smart ass that fire extinguisher is specifically for automotive fires. that's y i posted.

Oh and im not trying to be a smart ass about the truck either I feel for ya...

Yes, keep a fire extinguisher in the house, garage, and car.

Because it was just burning the plastic and not any certain type of fuel/oil I would think that a standard fire extinguisher would of done the job.

Get rid of that thing, its cursed!

... you really need something new.

What type of problems have you had with the truck?
