I will be looking to upgrade my truck, since it will no longer be allowed in California after 2014. My question is, is there a decent motor out there that doesn't use DEF? I refuse to buy that stuff and I don't really want anything that has a regen unit on it so, what are my options? Any Ideas would be appreciated!
2010 or newer model engines

MAN D28/Maxxforce with MAN PM-Kat catalisic converter, available on MAN and International
fireba11 Thanks this. -
I thought US versions have DPF-regen also? -
the only US sold truck w/o DEF is the International Maxforce engines that are all EGR, and from everything I have read, they don't seem to have all the bugs worked out.
-
They use designed by MAN advanced EGR. But really EGR is not the weak point of this engine. Really weak are injectors and DBV valve (hight pressure reg. valve).
it is not all, with summer fuel this engine is low temperature sencetive. Starts and stalls with high pressure fault codes, till you boil some water and spill it on DBV, filter unit and low pressure pump. -
i woudn't let california or the epa tell me where i can and can't go if every body would just stay away california stave them out alittle thing might be alittle diff we just keep going on and on letting this goverment run us over with this epa crap and tell us when where and how long to sleep now what to drive humm freedom i think not
-
Buy an 03 and put a DPF on it.
-
Avoid California and keep the truck you've got. Their old truck ban is interference with interstate commerce anyway, so I will be very disappointed if that isn't struck down by the federal court system between now and 2014.
Bob's Buzz Thanks this. -
AGREE with you!! PISS ON CALIFORNIA!! -
All the new engines have a DEF even the International.
