    You're not joking . I see these Florida plated junk trucks go through scales no problem yet they'll inspect my 2018 equipment !!

    I don't understand how these people get away with it .. These are same trucks that break down on the interstate and somehow end up blocking a lane or two

    This happens when the dpf is gutted and there is a fuel dump into the exhaust, I just can imagine what color the turbo is, I’m thinking almost a white heat color.

    I’m guessing he may have filled DEF tank with diesel

    Normally that would cause the engine to derate.

    There is a def quality sensor that should derate the engine and not allow the dozer to spray but I could see that as a possibility ..

    Even though they make the nozzles different sizes ,drivers have filled def tanks with diesel

    I have a feeling the truck in the video is deleted though and probably based in FL

    Negative, but if you’ve ever took a look around at the class of drivers on the fuel island these days anything is possible
