    Yeah, wow, I didn't watch the video very well at all at first. I thought the glowing was red leds behind the pipe and the reason I thought the flame was intentional. You're right, thats definitely the pipe glowing.... no bueno

    My X15 sounds like that cruising down the highway at 1300 rpm.

    They all do, at least the ones we have.

    Creeped me out at first, but at this point with nothing having happened in the last 150K miles since I started driving that truck, I suppose it's normal.

    First view in the mirrors the truck is throwing all kinds of black smoke. The exhaust is glowing all the way down and under the cab.

    I've seen quite a few car catalytic converters do that, but never on a diesel truck.

    I know this is just a light duty diesel pickup but the symptoms seem similar ...... No DEF system on this truck but it does have a DPF

    The scary part is that he will just go across the scale with no problem but, the guy with one chicken light out will get pulled in for a level one inspection!
