We also witnessed a truck fire last year on our return across the nullabor....apparently a lot of these are caused by the disk brakes dragging!

After that hubby went & brought himself a digital thermometer that he points at the disk brakes when we travel longer distances now with the van.

Howdy, chooknphil,   Yes there has been a number of truck fires here lately, and I suppose there will be more as Summer heats the roads up plus the vehicles travelling on them.

That's a good idea you have, one of those heat detectors, could save you a lot of money should you get an over-heated brake or bearing and spot it in time to do something about it.
