Two Weeks Ago My Truck Goes Into A Regen Mode When I Get Home, So I Leave It Running While I Unload Some Items Out Of The Bed Of Truck,while Unloading And Carring Into The Garage I Walk Past The Tail Pipe Probaly Eight To Ten Inches Away The Exhaust Singes The Hair Off The Back Of My Hand .
So Yesterday It Goes Into A Regen Again While I Am Getting The Mail And I Hold My News Paper Six Inches Away From The Exhaust Pipe And In Five Seconds The News Paper Is On Fire .
Is This Normal Temps Or Something Possibly Wrong.

P.s. 12000 Miles On Truck No Problems At All And I Absolutly Love The Truck .

 

This is normal. The internal temp of the dpf is 1100F+/- during active regeneration. The exhaust tip temps can be as high as 500F+/-. This is the reason for the funny looking tailpipe outlets. They are supposed to diffuse the exhaust gases and mix them with cooler ambient air.

 

do you have black soot on your exhaust pipe?

 

No black soot ,tail pipes are as clean as new.
