Chevy DEF system failure

The whole diesel emissions thing is getting like the 70s-80s emissions. Keep it or toss it. No one really cares.
Heck, I work for a company that does $3B a year in volume and if we have emissions problems out of warranty, trucks or equipment gets deleted.

I'm sure this will be the way it goes too. My first truck was a used 1980 Toyota Hilux with a CA emissions system (COMPLEX!). I bought that in 1994 and a previous owner had cut all the lines to the emission system and brazed shut the holes on the exhuast manifold. Living in eastern WA at the time, we didn't have any emissions requirements or checks (that I knew of). I ended up ripping out all the left over emissions junk that wasn't being used to make more room under the hood as it made for really tight working conditions with it in there...and being a Toyota it was still tight working conditions with it gone. The catalytic converter had also been cut out of the exhaust system. That truck served me well until one of the cylinders failed and I opted to sell it.

Imagine if I ever sell my current truck, which I don't plan to do anytime soon, it'd be to a private party anyway. I've yet to have a dealer offer a fair deal on a trade in. Was offered $4k trade in on my last truck and the dealership made it sound like that was a super generous offer. I declined and sold it for $7,300 to the first guy who responded to the ad (listed for $8k = blue book).
