Charging system light came on the dash (Battery light) and noticed the battery was not charging. Engine made a noise, thought it might be alternator issue. Next day, no light, no noise, no problem. Weekend goes by, Monday and Tuesday the van runs great, again no light, no noise, no problem. Get in the van, drive on the highway (2nd time since light went off), make it 3 miles and cruise control shuts off, all lights on dash flash on and then off. Pulled over, smoke coming from under the hood. Smoke gets worse, starts to turn dark colored. Everyone is out of the van at this point and at a safe distance. Van goes up in flames. Nothing left.
