Backfire and loss of power is fuel supply issue.

What have they actioned to correct the indicated problem?

BTW there are no real lemon vehicles just lemon dealers.

I've driven countless diesels and never had one backfire. Loss of power is usually lack of fuel or air.

Do you want some help or just bash your truck?

I work in a shop that services New Holland Tractors. They use a bunch of different diesels including common rail Cummins. I heard a Ford diesel (Perkins) backfire the other day after the mechanic missed the timing mark on a IP replacement. Scared the you know what out of me. Very rare, but it can happen.

Ah yes, Perkins. I remember when Perkins was an option in Jeeps.

Well, if he/she owns an '08 CTD that backfires, he/she ain't no troll. Some folks don't monitor DTR like some of us do, so give 'em a day or 2 before you go nuclear on 'em. Heck, sometimes I go a whole hour without checking DTR.
