I am surprised to here the oil ignited, that was my initial thought, why did it ignite? Means the flash point is pretty low. Now as far as the truck and don't dismiss it yet but, Dodge with a mega-cab. The back seats actually recline. I found it useful for a cross county midday expedition to acquire hardware from time to time. Those V-8 just don't give you the fuel economy that the old reliable inline 6 gives ya, 20-24 mpg is not anything to overlook. just my .02 cents.
