    Blame those freightliner sleepers that aren't well built. They allow those gases to seep in! Waking up with headaches because of idling is not pleasant. Do the regen odors seep into peterbuilts or kenworths or macks? And from where do you guys think they're seeping in from?

    I never have problem with oders doing a regen or idling my peterbilt 387. Keep the windows up and about 30 mins later it's finished.

    My F550 does that to me because it feels the need to regen everytime it idles more than 20 minutes. Gives me a headache and makes me feel light headed. I've learned to park the truck downwind of me. That DEF regen of these newer diesels is just as nasty as the first generation that used diesel fuel.

    Not as harmful as the coffee, Monsters, cigarettes, donuts, and Flying J pizza.
