April 22, 201411 yr Dear god 4 of those beasts on double current power is gonna tear that truck apart. The hatch is not going to be happy with that port loading directly into it!But killer craftsmanship on the box man. The ssa logo is such a nice touch and it came out super clean.
April 23, 201411 yr Author Always carry a fire extinguisher or at the least a water bottle in your vehicle. Never know when a power wire is going to short on your brake line...
April 23, 201411 yr Author So far, he says everything is still working properly, except the melted aluminum brake lines...
April 23, 201411 yr Oh man, at least it got put out for anyone was hurt or the whole truck burned up.
April 23, 201411 yr Holy shit! How does a power wire short out on a brake line? Something else had to happen here first. Glad the vehicle survived though. Crazy.
April 24, 201411 yr Author Got the whole story:Plastic fuse block/holder rubbed on the aluminun brake lines because the entire booster/master cylinder shakes so violently from the bass (not an exaggeration). Plastic cracked, touched the + bolt on the brake line. After grounding itself multiple times, the aluminum line melted, causing brake fluid to flow out and fuel the fire. Entire electrical system shut down while going down the highway. Had to use the E-brake to stop.. He was very lucky it didnt become more serious than it did.

Looks like its time for a nice toolmaker fuse block and a relocation out of harms way.
April 24, 201411 yr Was it know that this was happening? Seems like more precaution or wire planning should of been in order.
April 24, 201411 yr Author Was it know that this was happening? Seems like more precaution or wire planning should of been in order.I dont think people plan for their brake booster to.flex so much it rubs plastic down..
May 6, 201411 yr Ahh that really sucks, I'm going to be very careful about the placement of my runs/fuses after seeing this. Killer system though, keep us updated
