Ford 2008 Diesel Recall

campswithcritters · Post by **campswithcritters** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 9:07 am

Anybody who is considering trading to a new 2008 Ford with 6.4 engine might want to wait a few months until they work the bugs out. Reports of flames from the exhaust pipe are coming in see this link.

Might look kinda cool at night, but I wouldn't want it to happen to me.

I had the same problem when I ate some of your stuffed jalapeños at the rally.

If they were that good I might have to make some in Oregon too! See if we can create some northern lights!

Have a safe and trip heading north.

And their answer to this is to "power down" the vehicle until it cools.

THAT should make a lot of owners happy.

I stopped by my local Ford dealer I thought the new 08 450 with the utility custom bed . a lariat 4 wd all the Bells and Whistles . The kid say the truck lists at $74 K without the custom bed . Ofcourse they will give me 8 Grand for my 2000 with only 55000 miles . Then the kid says what do you think I told I thought JESSE JAMES was DEAD
So the weekend I picked up the Cardinal at the dealer , a little warranty work I dropped it off the day after Thangiving I'LL Never say Take Your Time Again
The OLD truck tow the Bird just Great
Happy Camping to All

I had my heart set on a new F 450 and I got a good deal through the Costco program about $54K and was offered $13K for my 99 F250. I was already do do it and the flame thrower option scared me off plus I don't want to be a guinea pig on the new engine after the problems with the 6 liters problems. So I got another referral from Costco with the Dodge dealer and now I went to the dark side and bought a 3500 dually. I got the
older 5.9 CTD without the soot burner, we pick it up thursday.
I spoke with Rich at Adventure RV (nice guy) last week and we are nearly ready to get the 37 on order finally.
I want to thank everyone for your wisdom and advice and especially George for for his help. Thanks Steve and Mary

The flame thrower option would eliminate the black sut buildup in the tailpipe!!
