in the picture if you look there are little red balls just under the motor mount they were not there before it was stolen just curious as to what it may be any input will help.

yea they do... clay pellets
had to look up those rocks and it does look just like them.. weird i wonder where my truck could have picked those up from...
maybe it was some dudes mobile hydroponics system/growroom?
well it wasn't there before the truck was stolen and stripped.
does a torch reach 2000 degrees?
or higher?
4000* i think?
edit: A common propane/air flame burns at about 3,630 °F (2,000 °C), a propane/oxygen flame burns at about 4,530 °F (2,500 °C), and an acetylene/oxygen flame burns at about 6,330 °F (3,500 °C).

you thinking chucks of dirt/clay turned that color from them torching stuff off the truck?
ok so that pretty much explains it then.. if there was clay sitting there while the thieves were torching on the motor mount bolt (that wasnt bolted in all the way actually just slid in there because i hadnt the money or tools to get in there and tighten it up and it didnt seem to be hurting anything) that clay would have gotten hot enough to actually form these little balls.
learn something new everyday...
The clay is formed into round pellets and fired in rotary kilns at 1,200 °C (2,190 °F). This causes the clay to expand, like popcorn, and become porous. It is light in weight, and does not compact over time. Shape of individual pellet can be irregular or uniform depending on brand and manufacturing process.

gotta go down to where it says "Expanded clay (Ex-clay)"
i could be wrong. just seems like the only explanation for it.
there ya go! applaudd
sherlock holmes says, these were on the floor of the chop shop when the truck in question was burning, and thrown onto the fire, along with dirt and floor dry. gas hose was cut, and had a nice motor mount/fuel fire. case solved

1st thing i thought when you said that
maybe they overheated it, and had to pour the hydro systems water in it, and of course they didnt notice till they got there cuz they were baked...
