Returned home after some shopping. Parked truck in drive way. Approximately 5 minutes after returning home my wife saw truck smoking from under the hood. Within another minute or two there were visible flames coming from the back edge of the hood. We called 911. Within 5 minutes the entire front end of the truck was engulfed in flames. The fire department arrived and put out the fire but the entire front and cab of the truck was destroyed. Fire investigators determined fire started at back of engine compartment near battery. Vehicle was stopped parked in off condition. In my driveway. No mechanical problems were noticed on ride home and there were no panel alerts for problems.
Started vehicle everything was normal shifted vehicle into drive proceeded forward. While driving vehicles steering seized I was unable two move the steering wheel.
