Hello everyone! First time poster needs some help.
The other day I got on the highway, drove about a mile truck is in a limp mode due to code p242f high ash accumulation, got off was waiting at the intersection when the white smoke, lots of it, started coming out of the exhaust. Immediatelly pullled over got out went to the exhaust and saw smoke and flame coming out of the exhaust pipe. Closer to the engine exhaust was so hot it was actually melting looked like a fireball. Thinking it was going to catch on fire I shut the truck off, waited about 15 minutes started it again and had no similar or any issues with the truck for couple days of work.
Truck is 2007 dodge sprinter 2500 with almost 200 k. Previous owner put the wrong oil in it for years I changed the oil to mobil 1 esp and also what I did is out one can of Sea Foam in the tank to clean injectors and what not. Trying to figure out what happened or what caused it?
thanks for any help or suggestions!
