Well said, of course if we did that we would gain power and use less fuel and the government would not be happy about that now would they? Besides we all know Diesels pollute way more than gasoline crappers!

 

According to the article it is the Particulate filter that is over heating... I wonder if the other manufacturers are going to have the same problem.. I would think that the particulate filters would all work about the same way..

Filter starts to get clogged and it goes into regen mode, A high heat mode to burn the particulates...

Do all the PF's go to the same temp????

So the whole point of a particulate filter is to catch the particles in the exhaust, but it just ends up burning them when it gets clogged anyways?? Does that sound kinda useless to anyone else?

 

Wow, those new Fords are HOT!!!

 

Try working on one. You will really be on fire if you are paying for it.

 

It'll be about a month before we start hearing about lawsuits because people are getting T-boned when their truck " powers down".

 

Yea, it's kinda like making the dog gone horn blowing and lights a flashing when your not in park... great fix too

 

 

I went over to the Drama stop to read up on the 6.4L issues. Wow, they eat their own over there....

but we HAVE drivin millions of miles with these trucks and didnt find any problems.....just like the 6 oh no!!

 

been kinda wondering the same thing. so it doesnt pollute alittle all the time, just everyonce in a while, pooofff, it burns out all the trapped particles. still burning the same amount of junk isnt it?

 

Wow - you're not kidding. I was (and I guess still am) a member over there from my time owning a 97 F250 PSD. Some of those guys can just get downright vicious.

That said - I'm REALLY glad about how civil this board stays. Some of us might have disagreements, but it's 99.9% civil.

My thanks go to the members and the moderators.

Jack - I'll be sending my donation in the next week or so. It's way overdue.

 

My sediments exactly ... makes me proud to own this truck, just knowing there is such a supportive and positive community of folks behind you all the time. I really try not to be brand loyal, i just research and test and let the results speak for themselves...

 

Well I paid them a visit (I'm not a member) seems they have it all figured out. Its us Dodge guys posting this nonsense over there.Or at least that appears to be one theroy. Not a very nice place.

 

Man am I glad I didn't buy a Ford. I have had three of the 7.3 PS's and just ordered a new Dodge because of all the trouble with the 6.0 PS.

Thank you Dodge/Cummins!

I can't believe that Ford's fix is to power down the engine. That sounds like a bandaid if I have ever heard of one.
