Nice edit no I don’t drive a truck for a living so you are correct. I din’t know anything about diesels
Thx. Don't feel like arguing with stupid. You should educate all of us lost on the awesomeness of DEF systems.
Doesn't matter if they are not awesome. They are the best option for now and that is it. Trying to out engineer literally thousands of people with a delete kit is as dumb as it gets.
Literally? Like literally literally? Or figuratively literally? Cuz I literally have no clue what the fuck that is supposed to mean.
Come here looking for advice on a code my truck threw and learned that I hate the environment. Gotta love the beeb.
best part is...guy admits to owing a diesel truck....Bwaaaaahaaaaahaaaa Im sure all of Greenpeace is saving the world while rollin coal. But they keep the DEF on their trucks, you know...to save the planet.
You are on a race forum, where we ride bikes around a closed course, burning leaded gas, smoking through sets of tires, changing oil after every weekend (whether its needed or not), and you're talking about polluting the planet with a diesel truck LOL. Our whole sport revolves around polluting the planet.
Just like any new tech in the automotive industry. It’s not understood by the masses and the answer is to revert to known tech that has worked for years. all these same arguments were voiced in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s as cars went thru adding emissions controls, efi, canbus systems. diesel emissions and after treatment systems work, period, full stop. Look at Atlantas skyline on a summer morning commute. Whens the last time an LA smog alert made national news? Learn how the systems work and learn to live with it.
Bacon, im being serious. The egr clogs up with soot and fails eventually like the dpf gets clogged over time. What should I/we be doing to prevent this? I know making sure when the truck runs to get it up to temperature before shutting it off helps and giving it a good run every so often also helps. What am I missing? Seriously.
this os going to be a Broome answer later today. I’m stuck using my phone only. in short, drive it like a rental.
Pretty sure diesel particulate pollution was a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of industrial particulate pollution “back then”... And diesel particulate pollution was emitted at ground level where it...fell to earth, not stuck in the steam cloud headed to the heavens and becoming the dreaded smog.
Ok. I understand. I do drive mine like a rental so I had that going for me. I appreciate you taking the time later to explain.
And yes. Diesels need to be beaten like red headed stepchildren and rented mules. Which, with the computer controlled slushboxes in everything today, gets harder and harder to do. So I’ll stick with my ‘05, no piss tank, no DPF, just a nagging high pressure fuel issue that’s driving me batshit and making me throw wrenches.
