It's rather simple... see those gauges in your dash? See the red marks? Don't ever operate the vehicle in a manner that gets the gauges near or in the red marks. RED MEANS STOP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING to cause the needles to run near or in the red zone. Don't go there. It's that simple, not complicated. Running in the red has always come with caveats and warnings, in life. Nothing new here. It's just the dumbing down of America that is increasing.
Red means "don't go there", unless you want things to get expensive, complicated and broken on your piece of equipment.
Is that too hard a concept to grasp?
Didn't mean to touch any nerves, hence the ;). You're right about the dumbing down in our society, like backup cameras and blind spot sensors to make up for the fact that people can't drive anymore.
My point was more that vehicles are becoming more and more complicated, and DEF is just one more thing that can potentially cause problems. Having said that, today's trucks may not be simple like ones of 30 years ago, but they do everything better and more reliably.
