Consumer Description

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS MY 08 FORD F250 6.4 HAS HAD EXCESSIVE BLUISH WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING AND LASTS AROUND 20 SECONDS. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND SITUATION MET ALL CRITERIA OUTLINED IN TSB 11-2-2. CAC WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, VEHICLE STILL INTERMITTENTLY HAS SAME PROBLEM. ON ONE OCCURRENCE THE SMOKE WAS SO EXCESSIVE THAT A MOTORCYCLE TRAVELING BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD DUE TO VISIBILITY. FORD STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL.
