So I'm laying in bed this AM and I hear an emergency vehicle going down the road, probably an ambulance or firetruck. And I wondered to myself, what do these guys do when they have a DEF header failure? Get out and clamp the intake hose? Or is there some sort of bypass built into these vehicles that we, as RV'ers, don't have access to?Failure of the temperature control valve in the coolant lines to/from the DEF header are well known. Temporary fix is to just clamp off the coolant lines until a proper fix can be done.
