Truck caught fire parked in drive way. Totally burned the truck and burned our car parked next to it, the corner of our home and the rear of a car parked in our gurage. The fire has been investigated by several professionals and the consensus is that the fire originated at the top of the fuel tank where a electrical pump is located. I have reported this to dodge customer assistance. Record #9848741. I am available to further explain or provide details.
