Description of the problem	I have a 2009 dodge ram 3500. I was riding down the road and all the gauges started going crazy then suddenly i smell something electrical burning by this point nothing is working im just coasting to a stop. There was no smoke from the dash that was my first instinct i then open the hood and smoke is rolling out of the fuse box. I have a friend that has the same truck but a year older and this same problem has occurred on his vehicle two different times i then done some research and found that on copart which is a salvage auction and there are a very large amount of the dodge trucks with the 6. 7 liter cummins motor in them that the fuse box is just burnt up or in some cases has caused the entire vehicle to burn. I am just wondering why this has not been brought to attention and is my truck gonna burn down. And why will dodge not cover a problem like this when it is clearly a known problem with their products.
