At the truck two guys claimed very loudly that they are getting rid of DEF. I googled it and didn't find any proof that DEF is going away.
Anyone have any input on this?
Thanks in advance.
I was told they are getting rid of DEF, could it be true?

Best to do your business and get back to your truck or get rolling asap. Don't hang inside the truckstops, you'll get your head filled with bull Doo Doo. When I was waiting in line one time for Hardee's I had to listen to a guy ramble about how he knows the founders/owners of the franchise and where they live. Then he told me a conspiracy theory about bill gates. Longest and weirdest 5 minutes to get a burger. Once I got my order i said "hold on one sec, I'll be back". Then took off. Wonder how long he waited.

InternationalMaxxforce tried, it didn't work.
Cummins initially thought it would work, but they have since helped International fix that mistake.Road Killer Thanks this. -
No other feasible way to eliminate nox at the moment. Which is the real problem, not the soot.

Best way I know of to get rid of DEF is to buy a truck that never had it.
And if you're gonna do that, ya might as well go back far enough to get rid of DPF, EGR, and E-logs.

Interesting read.
To me the emissions system problems is all in the dpf. I don't understand why soot (carbon) is such a bad thing. Isn't it the same stuff we buy for a charcoal bbq? I understand the nox going into the air is what eats the ozone. In my experience the dpf is the source of the problems with the back pressure. The def system, if filters changed regularly, should be less of a problem.
I don't think manufacturers will be going back to an in-cylinder solution anytime soon after international's debacle.Road Killer Thanks this. -
I looked a little more into it. Cost probably has a lot to do with it. Seems like for it to work properly, you'd need to shoot for approximately 15% of the fuel flow. Based on 6 mpg fuel economy over 3,000 miles, you'd need about 75 gallons of water/methanol.

why are we so worried about emissions and the ozone layer and that sorta stuff, i thought jesus was coming to save us.
