    Where's all this Engine Damage suppose to come from?? Some of you shouldn't even be commenting on this unless your company gives you training and give you executive orders and permission to post.
    :)

    And if any of you "experts" know what goes on during a parked regen, A lil diesel in the DEF tank isn't gonna hurt anything

    Hopefully we find out once Freightliner looks at it.But he drove 500 miles like that and then trk became sluggish,you don't think that's going to have some affect?

    Splendid. Checked out downtown, liked it a lot. I would have enjoyed a beer if I wasn't driving. Here's a couple of pics uploadfromtaptalk1394927917903.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1394927953596.jpg

    Honestly, probably not. A clogged DPF face, clogged DPF filter, bad sensor reading from the DEF tank... that causes the ECM to force an engine derate, and that's why it's being sluggish. The posters who've stated that DEF never goes through the engine are correct.

    I prefer Fort Lauderdale. How has Werner been treating you? How often do you get home to South Florida?
