I was in traffic yesterday doing about 30 m.p.h., no towing, and went from 2 lanes to 4 lanes and accellerated pretty hard to get up to speed, and the truck stalled, shuttered, and was blowing smoke so thick you would have thought I had blown an engine. I could not see the cars behind me it was so thick. I let off the gas for a second or two and accellerated hard again, and this time it seemed to be fine. This is not the first time I have hit the gas and had it shutter almost like it was flooding out.

Anyone else had this?

What color was the smoke?

 

It was greyish white, not dark black...

 

My experience has been only under certain conditions it will do this. Only happened to me once in over 5,000 miles. What probably happened, it went into regen and was shut off before it finished. Because of the heat that was involved mosture builds up when it is shut off then when you restart the truck and go 1-2 miles extra particles and mosture are burned off causing the white smoke. It clears after about 5-10 seconds.

 

Your DPF may be cracked, bring it to the dealer ASAP, and check the exhaust pipe for black soot.

 

My truck does the same thing and has been doing that for a year, I went to ford today and ask them again what's going on and no one can tell me. It only does it after you have been running for a while and it will clean up in a few seconds. Let me know if you find out what the problem is.
