Yes ENDelt - I'm convinced that it's all my fault.

Yesterday I backed into another contractor's truck at a jobsite. Barely tapped the thing. No damage to mine. $1600 to his.

Today my truck dies at a stoplight and a really pungent odor creeps into the cab. I start it and head to the nearest parking lot....

Open the hood to flames.

Slam hood.

Sprint 1/4 mile to Ace hardware.

Sling open door. "Fire extinguishers."

"Back of the store, sir."

"You're kidding, right?"

Get extinguisher, race out to truck. Pop hood again. Flames haven't spread much yet. Hit flames with powder.

Assess damage. Seems to be confined to the alternator and wiring harness.

Disconnect alternator, fire up the truck, drive home.

Took 'bout an hour to install new alternator and harness tonight. All is well. At least it didn't cost me too much this time. $200 is all.

Still haven't heard back from the bastards who supposedly insured my Yukon in Mexico. They're either waiting until 90 days to respond or they're ignoring me for some other reason. Bastards.

My luck is finally changing for the positive. I just wanted to update you guys on this situation. I got my claim settled today. It turns out that the conversion package on my Yukon saved my ass. I'm not going to take a bath afterall. It only took 6 months, but I'm gonna get a little bit of money back in my pocket. At least enough to cover the payments I've been making on a stolen truck for the past 6 months.
