Some 2008-2009 F-super duty 650/750 vehicles equipped with a Caterpillar engine may experience a service engine soon lamp flashing. The flashing lamp may be for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) requiring regeneration. The customers may desire additional interpretation of the flashing lamp for DPF. To assist these customers a kit has been developed to illuminate an additional bulb for DPF. The kit and installation are customer responsibility.

Oh wonderful, FMC got cheap and didn't include a DPF regen service light and instead anytime the DPF may need regeneration the Check Engine light comes on so you have to drive to your local dealer to find out what the light means. Now if you don't want to keep going to your dealer to find out it is only DPF regeneration FMC will sell you a light you can install at home yourself. :wtf:

Now there is great customer service, and the Big 3 wonder why they have problems. 'smiliedoh'

Remember, this is for a 650-750......they are undergoing hard pulls constantly, and this issue wont surface very often.

Yes i realize that, but if you want to keep your loyal fleet customer base then install the damn 30 cent bulb under warranty for free. These customers lose at least a days work everytime they bring their truck in for a Check Engine light and then find out it is only the DPF regen. Sorry but FMC is screwing the pooch with this program.
