    I have been reading many of the posts, and invariably I run across words/phrases that I don't understand. Such as "Regen" What the heck is that??? And what the #### is an "APU"?

    So here's what I'm suggesting - Let's create a thread where anyone can post a word/phrase with an explanation what it is. Newbies can also request the meaning of a word which we/they don't know

    Thanks in advance

    APU= auxiliary power unit
    Regen= emissions system self clean on DPF (diesel particulate filter)......DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) equipped motors do it too, but not the same way.....

    Rookies? Ok rookie here. Now do you feel superior? - Doesn't take much does it?

    Don't be offended. Its not a derogatory term. Other industries use the word too.

    Ok KE5WDP - I guess I took it wrong, sorry, I would always rather buy a coffee than have a fight. I hate my current job, and I guess it's showing.
