It is obvious fuel is getting into the exhaust system but where is the fuel coming from? The engine sounds normal so not likely a stuck injector, I'm thinking someone put diesel in the DEF tank, is this a possibility?
Congratulations on the correct answer.:)
Thanks but I think I was wrong.
Yet another story said it was from an improper repair. I think the oil line to the turbo somehow feed engine oil into the exhaust system.
Here is the link, it was posted earlier here.

I'm shopping for a new Toyota (or maybe a GM Canyon/Colorado), not a RAM. I might shop for a Ford too if they bring back the Ranger like the rumors say. I just thought it was an interesting tow vehicle story.
But, you're welcome to whatever opinion of me you want to have. :)
a single man arrived at our winter park with a brand new Colorado duramax and a very small TT for a 6 months stay to test if he likes to rv. He loves the truck but now knows the TT is toooo small. He had to stay in Boise for 3 days because the injector in the exhaust had a problem. I want to see the engine but he didn't bite when I hinted but it will happen. good luck on your new truck decision.

And one guy complaining does not even own a diesel.- If anyone is referring to me as a Ram Fanboy, you'd be wrong.

"Ford safety spokesman Dan Jarvis told PickupTruck.com today that, "The video is definitely one of the three trucks we described last week (see below, in the original story). It was sent to us by one of our dealers in Canada, where two of the trucks in the recall were located, and it illustrates why we took action so quickly. We wanted to alleviate any potential safety concerns about this issue right away."
They must not feel that way any more?

Typical FCA fanboy trolling
If you're referring to me you completely missed the intention of my post. I was simply asking the question as to why not replace those systems and carry on with the truck. Seems quite simple to me.- Typical FCA fanboy trolling
- Why not just replace the entire exhaust and DEF system and carry on? :h
I think I would have put my efforts into getting the he!! away from it rather than shooting photos and video, though!:B Grit dog wrote:
I'm just wondering why they had time to take pics rather than disconnect the trailer??
Not the sharpest knives in the drawer... Also wonder whey they continued to drive it rather than shut it down immediately. Lucky they didn't burn the whole rig to the ground!
Fortunately the dealer ended up buying it back, although I imagine they can sell it as a used truck after they replace the entire exhaust and DPF system.boshog wrote:
