I'm on my fourth diesel but the first one with DPF and DEF. My chassis cab Ram goes through DEF faster most are reporting in their pickups, but I'm always at 17K lbs GVW and some times at 25k lbs GCW. The engine gets a good work out on the local hills and mountains, so I have detected only one regen in the last four years.
Doesn't the use of DEF allow for higher engine temperatures and less particulate matter? I thought DPF clogging was more of an issue for pre-DEF equipped vehicles.
