DEF

We have had a couple of customers who have had problems. Their problem has been the gauge that monitors the amount of DEF in the tank has failed, so the computer thinks the tank is empty. The default for the computer is to systematically govern the maximum speed. Both of these failures have occurred a long way from a dealership and they have had to have their rigs towed and then wait for a couple of days for a new set of sensors. On a personal note, I hate the DEF. We have people discarding those boxes in the trash and with the box in the trash, you can get about 1 additional trashbag in a can. I would say our garbage volume has increase a good 5 to 10%. Not the end of the world, but I wonder if many of the advantages of cleaner air are being offset by a lot more waste in the landfills.
