[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 389637, member: 367"] 1982 I had a new IH Scout diesel that went haywire coming home from work one day while driving through a nasty thunderstorm. All of a sudden the radio made a super loud screech and the windshield wipers started going way faster than normal and all the gauges quit working. Out of curiosity I turned on the dome light and it flashed like a camera flash bulb and burned out. Those old diesels had a manual cable fuel shutoff so it still ran and drove fine but all the electrical was dead. It had manual transmission so I could get it moving and pop the clutch to start it. Brought it to the dealer and they replaced the battery , It had boiled over, alternator and all sorts of other electrical stuff. I remember it was in the shop a long time and when I went to pick it up and they told me warranty won't cover it because it was caused from lightning. I argued and got nowhere so I paid the huge bill and turned it into my insurance and they paid everything, no questions asked. At the time I had Nodak Mutual ins. Keep us posted and let us know what Ins. Co. if they refuse the claim so we can shy away from the dirty buggers. [/QUOTE]
