Was watching the news this morning and my dad caught this and called me in. The news chopper was following a truck after a couple calls reporting it was on fire. CAn you guess what it was?





An 07 Dodge diesel....6.7. We couldnt stop laughing....the news couldnt understand the flames and sparks out the tailpipe. Ill see if I cant dig up the video for this.

 

Are you sure it wasnt a new FORD? They like to do the flamethrower exhaust!

 

Which news station was it on? I've been looking for video, but I haven't seen it on the four main channels in DFW.

 

why were there flames and sparks comin out of the exaust?

 

And why the heck were you laughing...

 

He was laughing because the EPA thinks that by lowering a particulate emissions they are saving the world, but what about the increase in brush fires we are gonna see when these things start belching sparks and catching pastures on fire when ranchers are out driving around the ranch.

 

because the new trucks are a joke.

any tips on getting mine to do this?

 

Sure, just add a propane bottle to the bed of the truck and have it pluged into the exhaust about a foot away from the tail pipe. Wire up a igniter from a old gas grill and you will have a flame thrower.

and yes, these new emmisions BS trucks are stupid. California creates more pollution from their forest fires then our trucks. Make california stop having forest fires, then we would have room for our trucks to pollute the world.

 

It was on Channel four, kdfw...it was on their trafficwatch, Wednesday morning. It probably wouldnt be online since it was just traffic.

07-08 Dodge=DPF= the regen that we were watching.

 

U know, if we marketed these trucks to the ricers there could really be a boost in sales. They have been trying to make flames come out of their exhuast for years.....

 

Smartest thing I've heard all day. Wanna run for president?

 

Thats some funny stuff. Wish i couldve caught that on the dang news. that wouldve made my freakin day!

 

HAHA ...great now they would have flaming fart cans....would be great at tailgate parties i guess to roast some hotdogs....rofl

 

It had been rumored that a utility contractor in a diesel "Flamethrower was responsible for at least one of the recent California fires. Any truth in that rumor?
