Yep...went to remove the valve cover, it arced on something which quickly fused that hot wire to ground. Within a few seconds I had fire in two different spots under the hood!

My brain was quick to pickup on events as things started to slow down...the smell of electrical burn, smoke...I start to see images of my burnt out husk of a truck...

Before I could stop it, my hand reached out and firmly grabbed onto a red hot wire and tried to yank it free which resulted in a pretty scary looking burn across my fingers but nothing much else. Then I got the battery post disconnected and used the extinguisher.

Now I've got some work to do!

Oh that sucks!! I'm glad you got it out before it burned up!
