Trouble seems to follow us...
This time it is vehicle problems. I am sure I am not the first but I must say, I absolutely HATE the new DEF exhaust systems they have on newer trucks these days. 2nd truck, same problem...only this ...

I had this happen to my '07 Dodge while pulling the 5th wheel. While on the freeway, it lost a lot of power and I had to pull onto the shoulder. I managed to limp to the next exit at a very slow speed where it stalled at the top of the ramp. After about a 1/2 hour, I got it started and safely off the road. Luckily I had some tools with me. I disconnected the exhaust before the Dpf and it started right up. I drove all the way home with the exhaust loose but still connected. This has never happened again since I deleted the Dpf and went with a turbo back exhaust. The emission******on these trucks is the worst idea ever. FYI, my truck doesn't blow black smoke and you wouldn't know it was deleted unless you looked under the truck.
