    "DETROIT -- Ford says it has fixed a minor glitch with the new Super Duty pickup by rewriting the engine control software.

    Sales of the F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty, Ford Motor Co.'s most profitable vehicle, were briefly halted late last week after Ford received reports of flames shooting from the tailpipe of three of the 8,500 trucks sold with a new 6.4-liter diesel engine..."
