    I part time with a small company. They only have one unit that requires DEF. The driver had complained about the engine derating a couple times from using DEF from the pumps. He leaves out now with a boat load of the stuff under his bunk in the Cascadia. What a PITA!

    Blame EPA, they don't give a crap about breakdowns and issues.

    You are preaching to the choir. Typical EPA thinking............. Changing one form of pollution into another form of pollution.............is ok?

    And here you were the one preaching about how the best way to get started is to buy a new truck.
