Luxury Performance Raptor Gone up in Smoke?

[Steele16]

Makes me think Halon systems need to be standard equipment on everything.

That truck is what most of us dream of owning and to see it like that is just heart breaking. Glad no one was injured and hopefully the cause of this tragedy will be revealed.

Hennessey Blowers don't belong on desert trucks.
This is the 7th one that's gone up with the Hennessey package.

Know of any factory Roush chargers to go up in flames? Maybe I need to invest in a GD racing fire suit! Man this is horrible news... I would've sold my first born child for that truck, JK (well slightly).

I have a strong feeling this truck was not sent to Hennessey for their overpriced mods but I could be wrong. I'm curious though if the comments made are referring to Roush. I know we don't want to point fingers but this is the place to discuss a problem with a certain company's product. I'd hate to see someone else with similar mods not be as lucky as the two in this truck because they weren't aware of something wrong with a product they'd bought.

Even if it was hennessey, they utilize roush blowers now. So what is going wrong? Tune, install, pulleys?...

I believe the LPR had a Pro Charger which was installed by Hennessey before they started using Roush Chargers

Dan, I'm not 100% sure but I believe he was running TVS setup same as ours, whether it was a Roush kit installed by a Roush authorized installer or Hennesseys install and tune idk.

Damn, that does have some similarites to other incidents. Y'all wouldn't happen to
know or can confirm what type of setup was involved? Was it running a TVS setup and
LTs?

This truck had the Roush supercharger on it, was changed from the Vortech to the Roush around the time RPG was doing the build for Sema, not sure who was the installer though? And yes Hennessy now uses the Roush with a Hennessy cover.
