    The entire trucking industry should come together and file a class action lawsuit against the U.S. Government for mandating the whole clean exhaust/DEF system. Nothing but problems with this stuff. Lots of wasted time and lost money from breakdowns, manual regens, buying DEF and etc.

    Blame California residents back in 1967. They started this environmental crap. C.A.R.B complaint crap was quickly taken off my c5 3,000 miles away:biggrin_25516:

    Easy solution. Buy a glider when buying a new truck and don't haul to Kalifornia.

    Get a glider. I think it's hilarious and amusing you can get a brand new truck with an older engine.

    That would be like getting the new Corvette Stingray with an old (but new) 427 in it.
     
    Shaggy Thanks this.

    Then there was the reverse of that Corvette, that company in Arizona that used to import factory new Volkswagen bugs and put everything on a US legal chassis so you could buy a brand new bug titled as a 67 or 73 or whatever.

    Since I don't pay for it I like the extra fuel rewards points :) Plus it looks funny when you see white stuff all over the nozzle.

    Sue the government? Let me know how that works out for ya. Think I'd have better luck suing myself, might actually be able to win that one.
     
    Shaggy Thanks this.

    "the entire trucking industry" can't even agree on whether the sky is blue, the grass is green, or how to make a left turn. I do agree with you on the DEF thing, good luck with this one. It will only get worse, especially after 2018, If there is even a USA left...
