I do not think it would be able to do that at freeway speeds, If you watch the video when the guy rev's the engine it eventually blows out the flame but it comes back at idle again so I think you might have seen a.....IDK but I think it might of just been a fluke. If it was a new '08 6.4L and it did infact blow out a flame at freeway speeds he must have not had the ECM flash or something.

I believe the reason that a 2 or 3 of the trucks blew flame was because of faulty injectors. They were leaking or had some blow by and during regen the excess fuel was ignited. The new flash just monitors the heat in the exhaust and if it gets excessive (such as blowing flame) it stops the regen process which will lower the exhaust temp.
I least that is what I have been able to find out. Again there were only 2 or 3 cases where this happened.
