During I was away for my 2 weeks hollyday my 2004 cummins catch fire in my driveway and is a total lost. I am realy sad about that and I wonder how it catch fire just standing there in the driveway, it dont run for 8 days before it catch fire. That truck was in a good shape and I just put 2000$ bucks in upgrade (lift kit, custom made control arm, custom made track bar, ball joints, steering bar, stainless 4 inchs exaust...) The insurance say that it's no problem I am covered for fire, I beleive I am going to get around 16 000$ for my truck. What I should do, found another 5.9l cummins or upgrade to a 6.7l cummins, my wife own a 2006 5.9l MegaCab. I am affraid of the 6.7, I dont no this engine realy well, I do all my mecanic and I dont want to get a truck that I cant fix. Is the 6.7 is as good as the 5.9, the 6 speed transmission is it good, whats about the parts, is it available and cheap like the 5.9 or not. The 5.9 is a icon engine that I like but new thecnologie can be better some time. I dont want to do lots of upgrade, just some good stuff (better lift pump, 3 inch lift kit, stronger front end, shock, exhaust...) I use the truck for daily ride and to pull my trailer with my tractor, about 8500 poudns.

Thanks for your info.

How you Cummins truck catch fire just standing there in driveway?
I wonder how it catch fire just standing there in the driveway when don't run for 8 days before catch fire?
Looks like someone no like you. Maybe Arson?

 

I cant figure out how it catch fire. total mistery. Cops are doing investigation but they think it's not a criminal fire. I guest if somebody want to put my truck in fire it do it at night time, the truck burn around lunch time.

 

FORD MUSTANG were know for fires, happened to my dad I would stick with the 5.9 cause it doesn't have a DPF

 

DPF look to be a big problem on th 6.7.

 

Thank you for the early morning laugh! Does me proud to see how well our public schools are teaching the kids! Besides that stick with the 5.9.

 

Well dangerous1965 I guess it's a good thing he is from Canada and it doesn't reflect on our school systems.

 

I am happy I make you laugh, sorry but english is not my first language...

English and French are the mains up there! Sorry I didn't know you where French speaking! But I have seen a few kids on this site with a third no first grade language
