    Pretty sure the T600 was discontinued before DPF showed up.

    ...And a stack sticking up catches wind. We certainly can’t have that. :rolleyes:

    And water gets in the elbow, rots out plumbing, kills driver. Been there and done that. I'll keep my weed burner. ;-)

    If water gets in there, you're doing more sitting than driving lol.

    Detroit recommends oil changes based on fuel burn with the dd15. I'm getting in the mid 8's running light, and Detroit says I'm good at 50,000 intervals. Going to keep changing at 30,000 and sell at 500,000. Live to die another day. lol.

    I don't have a truck payment, I can afford 12,000 mile oil changes. And know first hand what all of that soot in the systems does to a motor, and it is not right. Just my .02 ;-)
     
    Bean Jr. and sealevel Thank this.

    And they would warm the fuel a little bit too. Ive always liked them.

    By and large I hated weed burners. Too many times when young I sat in a cloud of blue waiting on a offset mack to warm to temperature in 20 degree weather. Slowly suffocating in the gases. (See how that migraine does you today Driver...)

    There were a few other weedburners as well. Did the same thing. I finally decided that if I see a company truck with a weed exhaust Im either quitting or finding another tractor with stacks. Now Lake pipes are good but that is about as far as I would take it.
