DPF regeneration fumes, harmful to your health???

I haven't seen any I don't think they want to I was thinking about e mailing the EPA or department of transportation

 

Yea, it's definitely a concern. No matter what others say about the trucks they drive not having any issues with their weed burner exhaust fumes Not seeping into their cab isn't justifiable for Me to regard it as not being a design problem that these truck manufacturing companies aren't coming forward about. Someone's gotta die for someone to give a #### about these things. You'll see.

 

I agree I told my wife if I ever die in a truck sue my company first then the manufacturer she knows all I've gone thru

 

16 mos ago I had a stroke it happened in a 2012 freightliner woke up and thought it was a pinched nerve, this truck regened between 4AM and 6AM every morning
also has the grass burner exhaust, 4 trips to the Mayo 3-4 day visits, every test imaginable and in the the end Im very healthy and they could not find one thing that would have made this happen . now my only med is 1 baby asprin a day I am lucky to only have numbness in my right arm and fingers of course a few more brain cells gone!
Still able to drive my truck though (hmmm) ! really trying to figure out if was somthing to do with the regen and grass burner exhaust over time , Any one no of a good attorney?

 

I drove a freight liner trash truck with one of the first regen systems for 3 years this system you had to pull the truck over and allow it to regen for about 15 minutes and you would see fumes everywhere. I began developing problems with my back and after an MRI they said I had arthritis all over my back my immune system was out of order. I attributed this to the regen system but could not find any truck drivers four years ago with any problems. I have gotten better with alternative treatment and have to eat a certain way and have been left with a worn out si joint in my lower back by the way I was 42 at the time doctors could not believe it. I wear mask when the truck regens now and the newer systems seems to be better. I am left with this damage for the rest my life. I think the systems are getting better because of hidden problems no one knows about.

 

Yes,metal nasty smell is mormal.Basically,youre "Burning all the crap out of your engine",that has built up.1000° + temps...Doesnt matter...Its not good to Breathe.These are hydrocarbons.A few choices...run cruise up to 2000 and "find somewhere to walk to",sit there with a Surplus "Israeli Gas Mask for $60 on,like a psycho or sit there and increase your chances of developing leukemia,or lung cancer etc.JMO

 

Recently I noticed when trucks pass me while doing regen my cab is filled with fumes and start headache, did anybody notice same thing. thinking to complaint about it but don’t know where to file complaint,
