This is exactly why those fins are in the tailpipe at the exhaust outlet. To help cool the exhaust when it does a burn. ( I think I worded that rigit)

It really would be fun to have that option when some jerk is crawling up your butt.

How does *hit like this happen? We shoot ourselves in the foot too many more times and they'll be no more walkin.

COME ON DEARBORN!

I think I'd rather have it breathe fire than "power down" like what they propose to do to fix it.

I think sales of this truck to power hungry, egotistical, and redneck men alike are going to skyrocket after this

Remember, this is probably not the happiest time to be a Ford factory worker. From what I've read, morale has been pretty low amongst the rank & file over the past few months, and it's likely to have an impact on workmanship. I wouldn't doubt you'll see more defects showing up here and there on North American built vehicles for the next little while as the company adjusts through this painful and difficult transition.

I would think this is more of a Navistar quality issue rather than a Ford one (although Ford is ultimately responsible for it).

I agree, this is yet another reason to dumb the underperforming whiners at Navistar and hook up with CAT.
