Back in the late 90's, my brother and I drove to Cleveland for a family wedding. His truck (Dodge D50) caught fire at the toll booth.
Holy crap!
Sure made the brinks truck drivers nervous the next booth over. The state trooper, too. Toll booth operator ran around like a chicken with it's head cut off. He made more noise than a chicken, though.
I shot a bunch of water through the grill before opening the hood to finish putting it out.
Oil on the exhaust manifold at speed is what we think happened. Lost a little wiring and got some water in the crankcase, but a local mechanic had it fixed by that Sunday..
