Waiting on New Trucks thread.

Yeah you’re right. Only considered it if it was going to give me a noticeable difference in mpg.

 

It’s a 280 with a 86 studio sleeper.

 

Update: 5,650 or so miles and it gave me a derate in 3 hours message. Fortunately I’m home and empty and was already planning on going to my dealer to change some parameters in the software. Hoping it’s a hiccup. Has anyone else had this message pop up around the same mileage? Cummins ISX Productivity series 565/1850.

*Edit* I’m being told truck stop fuel pump DEF may be the reason I’m getting that message in relation to the emissions system. It was doing an active regen for not even two minutes, it stopped, and poof the message popped up.

 

Surely the def from the pump is not the problem. Might be a sensor bad already or something else wrong with the system. I would not put much stock in saying that the Def pump was the problem unless it was a mom and pop place that was sketchy.

 

You can buy test strips to check that the DEF urea/water ratio is correct.

 

That would send me into orbit I think.

 

I almost strictly fuel at TA/Petro so odds are you’re correct, it wasn’t the def. It’s going to the shop regardless on Monday, and I’ll get her looked at.

 

Good to know, might have to dabble into that.

 

Mix in not getting the interior specced the way I wanted, fuel tanks having an issue with balancing and now this. I need a ciggy, lol

 

My last truck would always draw down the small tank faster. I only had one gauge but could switch tanks, I always left the gauge on the small tank.
