Extended warranty. Buy or not buy?

Sounds good. Did you get your truck from a dealership or private owner?

 

I bought the truck I was driving from Crete Carrier / Shaffer - the company I was driving for.

 

Oh ok.

 

Think it would be a good move to have def removed from truck?

 

No. If you want a truck that does not need DEF, buy one that was not built with it.

Otherwise you are setting yourself up for a nightmare in several different possible scenarios.

 

What are the possible scenarios?

 

Where is a good place i can take oil and transmission fluid samples in charlotte north carolina?

 

There are lots of ways that illegally removing a DEF system can screw you over. Most of them can be simplified into two categories.

1. You take your truck to a shop that absolutely will not do any work at all to your truck without replacing/repairing/enabling the DEF system to full function first. Those systems can be tens of thousands of dollars. Then you then risk them reporting your truck, which they might do if you refuse to let them do the work. In essence either you have to do all the work yourself, or get Cletus the Shadetree Mechanic to do all the work on your truck.

2. Law enforcement notices your truck has been illegally modified. That can easily turn into a gigantic mess with tens of thousands of dollars in repairs (to make the truck legal) mandated by a court, plus whatever penalties you are responsible for due to owning/operating the truck.

Really, it's not worth it. If you want a truck without DEF, buy an old one that never had DEF.

 

Any dealership for the truck make will happily take oil samples and have them processed for you.
