    With trucks parked mere feet away from each other at truck stops, I would venture to guess 300 million volts and 50,000amps could be enough to jump the gap between trucks and one bolt could fry TWO trucks.

    Basically, a giant scale spark plug.

    I'd almost be tempted to tell the insurance company that I wouldn't sign off on the claim unless they replaced every single module, switch, screen and wiring harness.

    1D is almost as good as 1A. Best seats on the plane, unless it nosedives into the ground.
     
    Concorde Thanks this.
