The vehicle will just keep injecting water into the exhaust because the diluted concentration of DEF will not be dropping the Nox emissions enough which is what it monitors. They tank will just go empty that much quicker. I'm sure codes will ensue for catalyst efficiency if diluted enough not to mention the rust that will occur from strait water. The mix is 32.5% urea
won't even get that far. it won't take but a few miles for the system to realize the urea % is low, and trigger a "poor def quality" warning, and about 100 miles later start limiting speed to 55 mph and within a few hundred more miles limit speed to 5mph.
Let's see spend $XXK on a truck and fuss about spending $25 every 5-8K miles for DEF fluid. Wait till he gets the bill for dumping water in the DEF fluid tank. That's 1/2 of a cent/mile!!! And he's probably spending around 30 cents/mile for diesel if he's towing
With GM the DEF fluid fill is FREE for the first 2 years/24K miles.
My advice: DON'T take his advice on vehicle issues!!!
