Tailpipe fires? You know, I don't really keep track of all these strange
happenings with ford diesel trucks. You sure seem to have had some
interesting happenings with that vehicle.

Maybe I should lower my standing offer of $1000 for that truck of yours...

That's $1000 cash...


The tailpipe fires are occurring on the new models equipped with the EPA
required particulate filter. Apparently the filters are routinely and
automatically heated to a very high temperature to burn off accumulated soot
or something. All new diesel powered trucks have this system ... GM and
Dodge included. In the case of Ford, there has already been a recall due
to documented cases of unburned fuel or something catching fire in the
filter and blowing flames out of the tailpipe. There's a You Tube video of
this happening somewhere on the 'net.
