    Well from what l am hearing is there is a fertilizer shortage for Farmers. Urea and the fertilizer share some of the same base ingredients. Not good

    Can confirm, best friend is a farmer and he was #####ing that the cost has nearly trippled before you add on that shipping has also nearly doubled.

    If a DEF shortage becomes real, maybe they'll allow the deleting of trucks to keep everything flowing. ###### systems don't work as advertised anyway.

    It does what it’s intended to do. Those garbage systems cut the life of your truck by at least half, and immobilize it if one sensor gets sneezed on by a flea. :rolleyes:

    Hell will freeze over before that ever gets lifted, even temporarily.
