    Wrong guess. Company never said anything about DEF.

    Anyways, I am here at the crappy motel amd about to rent a car and check out San Antonio. I like the idea of living here.

    Wow this guy puts diesel in the def tank drives it 500 miles. Has Patty J cheer leading for him and he expects to be put up at the Ritz Carlton. I'm sure most of the diesel went on the ground, and he had the nerve to say he was edumacated. Heck even babies know if it don't fit you must aquit. You really mean to tell me in all the months of driving you never seen a cotton picking person use the def. I've only had my def truck for about 4 months and I didn't have to go to a def training class. Nobody taught me how to drive a 13 speed either but when I got in that truck and had to get that trailer up to Dallas. I sure did learn. Nobody taught me how to drive and turn a long wheel base truck. You just figure it out as you go. Next time Mr. Educated if you don't know. ASK QUESTIONS, and when you Screw up. Tell the company so you don't make a small thing a large thing. Guess my 5th grade texas edumacation has taken me a long way. We back quiet. Yeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwww

    Im not cheering for no one.That was deffinately wrong on his part.He knew he did it but drove anyway rather then get it fixed right away.But what's done is done.No since hashing over old wounds.I mean on the tank it says in big letters DEF.Big part of trk driving is to figure things out for yourself.Shouldnt need a manual for that and had he done a pretrip,ihe would have seen that def tank along with the fuel tanks and also 2 gauges on the dash,one for def one for fuel.But whats done is done.

    I am not going to comment your 5th grade education.

    I CHOSE to be in that hotel, because it is conveniently located.

    Pattyj has been nothing but supportive since I started trucking close to year ago.

    Everything else you mention we spoke about in earlier posts.

     
    pattyj Thanks this.

    I'm hoping a simple flush of the tank will be sufficient and you can be on your way.Live and learn.I have yet to meet a trk driver that hasn't done something during their carreer.What's done is done no since for ppl to keep harping on it.If it wasn't for Calif on this clean air kick we wouldn't need DEF.
