Read the guy's previous posts on the dieselstop. The pic and fuel line splicing problems he's posted scream POS/ill-cared for truck.

Insurance would pay more (likely A LOT MORE) than that old POS truck would fetch, just as insurance pays astronomically more for old MB diesels than casual sales/trading them in.
My 7.3 hasn't burnt my Ford down in 8 years of use. If it did, I wouldn't have a studio set for pics. Blaming the block heater offhandedly may be bogus, regardless what the guy posted. |
Reading that thread, your theory seems a big leap to me. People are offering him 1500 bucks for the burned up truck to rebuild it, plus, he discussed a wrapped up possibly damaged block heater cord
What you are calling a studio set looks like a flash picture from a pretty standard camera at night. I think you are jumping to a pretty out there conclusion.
If you read any of the collected threads from dozens of posted on these forums, a cursory glance will show you they are mostly about problems with the vehicle. If I apply the same logic you are applying, I could call most of the cars discussed on this forum POS vehicles, and worth burning for an insurance payout.
