Experience with new SCR engines?

I prefer the new scr trucks because it keeps me employed.

 

I take it your a mechanic?

 

No ........

 

what about now?

 

The new scr engines are much better than my pos 07 emissions engine. But I'd wait another couple of years before buying a scr. 1 of the scr trucks I work with had check engine light problems today. It's a kw with a cummins 90k on it . He bailed on the rest of the day.Might be nothing we shall see.

Even if it is under warranty , remember you eat the lost income from not working. And the payment is still due!

 

SCR engines are nothing new, the truck I drive is 2007 and it's scr, it's simple, runs at a lower temp than egr and absolutely no problems with it, easy to disengage it too

 

The scr seems to help out the dpf . Wait till you get the dpf. Then you will understand my poor attitude toward these trucks.

 

Imho,

The DPF trucks can be really a pain as the DPF in them are quite unrelaible from what I have heard on here. Many people prefer a 07' and older or a DEF equiped truck for a reason unless it is equipped with a pre-emissions engine. When it comes to specing a new truck, I prefer a glider based upon what my friends have said. To me a glider equals the best of both worlds. Relability and Value. I think when it comes to resale value, a glider will quicker.
