According to Ford it was just a software glitch. I can see the new tune on the 6.4s when they come out, along with a smoke tune there will be a fire tune. Gives a whole new meaning to gettin burned by a PSD.

that truck had at least one injector that was cracked. I'm a dodge guy but I'll give it you guys. It wasn't the software really, the cracked injector let fuel make it to the exhaust the engine went into regeneration mode, the dpf saw temps of upwards of 1100 degrees and the fuel ignited. It looks cool...but sounds terrible.

I just wonder why Ford and Chevy are using the special tailpipes while the Dodge isn't. I don't see how they actually can help cool the gases at all....those fins are like 3 or 4 inches from the end of the pipe, how's that go?!

That's what I've been wondering... ford and chevy have these ridiculous looking tips and dodge has a simple 4 inch tailpipe...what gives? Somebody is doing something right...

If you look closer up under the truck there are some "buldges" in the pipe. These are air inlets as well. The ones you are refering to are the last ones.
