[AT] Ford F250 Diesel makes steam. UH - OH !!!

[charlie hill]

How would you like it for your wife or child to walk by that wearing a pair 
of polyester or nylon pants?  The Chevy stuff with the Isusu diesel has what 
I will call a flame arrestor on the end of the exhaust pipe incase someone 
accidentally hits it.  It's all because of the catalytic convertors they put 
on them.
