Description of the problem	Driving around and diesel fuel smell came into the cab of the truck and smoke from engine compartment. This truck has a 6. 4l job 1 diesel. We had the truck towed to the ford dealership because driving it makes me sick to my stomach and light headed. Ford tells us it will happen every 100-600 miles and last 10-40 minutes each time during regeneration. Ford says this is a 'normal operation characteristic of the vehicle'. The dealership referenced tsb 09-16-9 and took the time to highlight certain areas. #1 - i was not in cold ambient temperature at the time the smoke was coming from the engine compartment and #2 - this is not a brand new truck although we do have low mileage. How can this be considered normal if it had never happened before and now makes me sick when i drive the truck? The smell is still faintly in the headliner of the truck. What is in this stuff that made me light headed and sick to my stomach?*cw
