Ford Recalls 2008 Super Duty Trucks
Is it proper to speak of flaming tailpipes in polite company? Truck maker Ford says about 8,000 customers of new F-Series Super Duty pickups need to bring their big pullers back to the barn for a bit of an adjustment. Seems as though some of the Soopers with the 6.4 litre Navistar diesel engines have been getting themselves into trouble: With tailpipes literally spittin' fire, in one instance a grass fire was started.
The trouble appears to originate in a chip programing problem. A free software upgrade to be installed by Ford will theoretically extinquish the trouble. Now if we could just get you to stop playing with matches.

When Ford was using the 7.3 litre Navistar diesel engines, their was a few problems but ever since the 6.0 came along it seems that more problems came with it, now this. If Ford don't get they're stuff together, Dodge and GM will reap with Fords Super Duty downfall. MJ
