Given the intake manifold condition it hit at least ~1200degF. Probably significantly higher.

What's the plan on getting the truck's bellhousing mounting pads to line up? Cut some hockey pucks into wedge mounts and figure it out 2000 miles from now? Ratchet strap it down and roll out? Custom trans crossmember?

Hockey pucks, nuts and bolts and steel box section. It won't be pretty but it will be sturdy and work. Stack/sandwich box section as needed for extra clearance?

Quick send the pictures in for their website so you can get a free streamlight.

As SSW said, Streamlight absolutely needs to know about this. Hell, just send them the entire thread.

This is why the fire service pretty much exclusively uses streamlight around here.

It's happens way more often than it should to ours (they get left places they shouldn't while we're pushing fire around and sometimes it's past where we left our box lights - not great practice but sometimes these 1800s houses are poo poo shows to put out and you have to change tactics a few times before everything comes together).

We have spare cases so we can replace the outside when they get really bad, but I don't think we've ever actually had a failure that took more than a case and possibly a replacement switch or lens/bulb (back when they still had bulbs).

Did you find any of the sockets you left in the fire? I am now purchasing a few more stylus streamlights to add to my collection. My wife has one i have the usb rechargable my brother in law is getting one im getting two more. Those really are amazing lights for the money.

1) Relocate base camp into the husk of the van
2) Transplant 4.0 into Chevy, it was born with an I6, it will die with an I6.
3) Transplant holy V-8 into veedub.
4) Burn V8 logo into 14's chest while he is asleep.
5) Connect IV from Danno to 14.
6) Ride into Valhalla shiny and chrome.
