    I was having lot of problems with the DEF system. Replace a bunch of sensor then one day I got mad and. Had it DEL.. the issue was oil consumption build lots of soot clogging the filters. Now after a year of. Use it still consuming oil after 8k miles it get to 1.5 gallons every 1500 miles. 560k miles on the rig.
    I was thinking buying a new truck. A selling this one but prices are stupid right now. So I’m thinking of getting the inframe and re activate the DEF getting a new filter.
    I run to Cal-Tex route (yes and we love going there cuz I spent my weekend home and make a very nice paycheck)

    they about to go very strict on DEL next year. So what you O.O think own my situation .
    I own a 2016 prostar with isx15 (no issues)
    And a 2015 prostar with isx15 DEl

    Sell privately? I'm sure someone will buy it despite the missing parts.

    Un deleting is not cheap at all.
    Def tank flush, new pump.
    New doc dpf and scr.
    May need a turbo.
    Aftertreatment wiring may have rubbed out
    2 nox sensors.
    Then try it and keep fixing til all the check engine lights are fixed.
    Probably 15g minimum if not more.
    Couple I have done are a pain in the ###

    Yeah, filters will need replaced, def tank may need cleaned. The rest of the stuff is still there and operating like normal. No big issues. Program to factory specs and go. Definitely not 15k. I'd figure 1.5-3k. Aftermarket filters have become quite reasonable.

    That was my thought as I have heard just the opposite from my reading on CARB regulations in the coming year.
