You guys remind of the days when people would say "Don't buy a car with a catalytic converter"... Are you still driving a 1972 Ford LTD? LOL!
First, I respect Ivylog's, Executive's and John S.'s posts as we have all been here a long time.
But, don't scare the new guys away from new technology. Our 'particulate filter' Cummins has been fine with almost 70,000 miles and 7.5 yrs. of ownership. I've not heard of any major issues with these engines or even the DEF engines. Do they need repairs?, I'm sure some do as well as the older engines. Remember the wrist pin issues on the early 2000's Cummins?
I don't see the big 18 wheeler's piled up along the Interstate.
I think there is a horror story on everything on the Internet.
