    If it wasn't spinning long enough to get hot from friction, I'd think it was fine still. Is it leaking?

    It caught fire. I'm not sure if it was leaking really. I smelt oil. But there was no signs of a leak

    Caught fire? I can’t help but laugh. Sounds like quite an adventure. Anytime fires involved, it could have been much worse. Lol. Whew!!

    Been there, but I was fortunate enough to be in a company truck, lol. I somehow managed to pick up a 2" strap. Burned up the pinion seal, then cut a air line going to a brake can and took out some wiring. Luckily I dont rely on dealerships. I found a good independent shop 30mi away the next morning and they had the truck fixed up for a grand.
