So if you have an atttached garage I suppose you don't keep the GP inside it?
Yikes! Good point.
My parent's neighbors HAD a house with an attached garage until they parked their F-150 in it before getting the cruise control recall taken care of. I guess we're all gonna have to start parking outside.
I have a friend who had an F-150 spontaneously combust in his driveway. He was lucky he parked his car on the far side of the driveway so his wife could park closer to the house. I guess good manners pays off.
Some years of F-150, early '90s, had problems in the alternator wiring that would cause them to spontaneously combust.
That was a problem with a lot of Ford vehicles using the 2G alternator. Replacement alternators usually include a new plug for you to splice into the existing wiring (there is also a replacement rectifier assembly that has a lug terminal, but I have only seen this on a 130-amp rewound alternator). The problem was the push-on connector that used two 1/4" male quick disconnects. Either the terminals would corrode or they['d loosen up creating resistance which creates heat. Later alternators (and previous ones too, I believe) used a standard nut/bolt terminal.
