DEF Systems Can Now Be Disabled if they Fail

“I am working with a company that will be bringing retail solutions for DEF delete to the mass market in the near future.”

While not evidence in anyway…this is a red herring for me,,, that says…look closer!

My favorite Mr. Haney sales pitch to Mr. Douglas was toward the end of a transaction Mr. Douglas had made a final offer to Mr. Haney of $10.00. Mr. Haney countered back that he'd only sell the last two he had as a pair for $11.00 each and that's $25.00. Mr. Douglas said, no that's $22.00. Mr. Haney said, you drive a hard bargain Mr Douglas, sold for $22.00.

Well had my 1st DEF issue. It was hot and stopped at a rest area to eat lunch. Upon starting engine recieved 2 alarms about high DEF temperature. Showed 111F via Silverleaf, connected my DEF emulator and went about my business.
When you are driving in 100F temperatures and the DEF tank is close to exhaust and DPF it is going to get hot.
I will bring my infrared heat gun on next trip and see if inlet valve to DEF head unit is stuck open.
Talking to my friend who owns a trucking company, he recommended adding a valve on 1/2” hose to supply engine coolant and living in the South only open it from December-February.
Now I am wondering if High DEF temperature was from high ambient temperatures or from supply coolant line stuck open?

It’s awful how many vacations were ruined, how much money was lost on non-refundable reservations, and how many people were left stranded on the roadside in danger, all because of a poorly designed, ridiculous device that in retrospect, was so easy to compromise.

I think we can all agree the internal combustion engine hasn't been perfect, but on the whole it's hard to imagine the alternative.

Having been a full-timer and RV’r for over 30 years, considering the high cost now of camping compared to what it used to be per night or per month for staying in a campgrounds, they’re certainly making their fair share of money, but still insist on getting every penny back or retaining every cent when one has an emergency and is forced to cancel their reservations.
We’ve stop returning to or recommending campgrounds in which they had little compassion or understanding and were refusing to return or credit some portion of our funds do to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. “Some things simply cannot be helped or fixed.”

 

[Holdmybeer]

Just to be fair, I think most campgrounds have a refund policy.

Most that I go to have one as well. It’s a loss of deposit or booked stay.

Basically once money paid, it doesn’t come back.
