    Which is why I included that if they dug deeper it would likely be cited. Most road side checks of this are a visual of the system and a smog test. They're not going to know DEF was deleted unless they did some digging.

    It's not looking to me like that's the case here.

    Diesel Drinker's just noticed what he feels to be an anomaly with his truck, and apparently someone else did something to it. What that is though, we don't know, nor is a particular method of replicating it being discussed or advocated.

    Gah, 6 MPG would be great. I average around 4 MPG but then I weigh almost 60k empty :)

    What engine does it have? That will help to determine what was done to it to modify the DEF system. Most probably modification is a ECM change or flash to disable the emission system. I know it happens a lot in the Ag industry. Several companies out there offer solutions to the emission system problems. All you have to do is use google.
