Right - could be either and they are typically remotely located on trucks. Maybe on 2016 and later emissions system coaches as well? And of course Spartan and FL systems are different. I don’t know - learn something new every day, or at least try to. Thanks for pointing that out.@Jim - Here's the Cummins QuickServe document for the fault code. It talks about the valve that's upsteam of the DEF Header.
Good to hear. It’s always nice to see one of these situations resolved sensibly and economically. And I somehow doubt you’ll do much driving below 12°F.It's been 3 months since I made this modification, so I figured I should update the outcome. Since the modification, I have driven across Florida, through Georgia, and up into North Carolina. All with -0- issues.
I'll probably install a gate valve so that I can direct the heated coolant through the DEF Header in those few cases I might be driving in colder weather. But at this time, I have no intentions of spending a couple grand to replace the DEF header just to repair the internal broken valve.
That's a shame as you know my "frozen" RV tours book up fast. How's my marketing doing so far? Raise pant legs...Neal, I guess this means you can count Jim as a non-participant in next winter’s wonderland tour.
I'm sorry to have to inform you, we won't be able to make it this winter. I signed up before mentioning it to my wife, do I need to say anything further? Move someone off the waitlist. I'm just heartbroken knowing I won't be able to show off my driving skills on ice-covered roads.That's a shame as you know my "frozen" RV tours book up fast. How's my marketing doing so far?

You’re not handling the change of plans well. I’ll pencil you in for next year. FOMO is real.I wonder how many sled dogs would I need?
